Pontiac, Mich., district will lay off 321 employees
At least 321 employees will be laid off from the Pontiac (Mich.) School District, including 100 teachers, as the district struggles to balance the budget. Declining enrollment, with 1,000 fewer students expected in the 2007-08 school year and an anticipated cut of nearly $125 per pupil in state funding, are prompting the the layoffs.
