From The Los Angeles Times: More than a thousand Los Angeles Unified School District employees — including those who staff school offices, run libraries and maintain campuses — are without jobs after the latest round of budget reductions. Thousands of others will be shifted to new workplaces, and some are taking positions with less pay and fewer hours. The reductions and reassignments affect 4,700 employees in various classified positions.
