Ooops, Never Mind

From the LVRJ: The last of 419 laid-off teachers have been rehired by the same district that let them go.
They will be returning just in time for the first day of school on Aug. 27, Clark County School District officials confirmed Friday.
Their former jobs - and 600 other teaching positions - no longer exist, which means class-size increases and program cuts remain in effect. Instead, those laid off last school year will be filling jobs vacated by teachers who have retired or resigned.
"We're glad to have everybody back, but we're still down 1,000 positions," School Board member Carolyn Edwards said. "We would like to get some of the positions back, not just people."...
The reason behind so many teacher resignations is unclear, Vesneske said when asked whether the district's unstable employment environment increased the number of those who left.
Retirements accounted for 452 of the 1,215 departing teachers.
Another 328 teachers who left gave no reason, 192 moved, 73 noted personal or family reasons, 31 left the profession, seven said they were dissatisfied with the district, and 132 teachers gave other reasons.

This happened last year, where no teachers were laid off and will happen every year to come.  That doesn't make anybody's job easier nor improve working conditions but it's not the end of the world as the union has said.
So, everyone will be back in a week and half.
