N.Y. Superintendents On Board for LIFO Reform
The ranks of educators backing Mayor Bloomberg’s battle to scrap “last in/first out” rules for teacher layoffs continued to grow yesterday when the statewide group representing 800 school superintendents announced it supports the effort.
“Most superintendents like some measure of change to allow classroom performance to be a factor in those layoff decisions,” said New York State Council of School Superintendents president Robert Christmann.
“We really like to have as much flexibility as we can,” said Christmann, superintendent of the Grand Island school district in western New York. “The first priority is to students.”
