All 2,000 Providence teachers told they could be fired - Yahoo! News

All 2,000 Providence teachers told they could be fired - Yahoo! News:

"Providence, Rhode Island Mayor Angel Taveras is sending layoff warnings to all 1,926 of the city's teachers.

They won't all be dismissed, but state law requires the city to notify teachers by March 1 whether the district could lay them off before the start of the next school year. School officials say warning every teacher gives them the freedom to let go many of them later without having to single any of them out now."
