Long Beach Unified School District to End Employment of 600 Teachers
Though it is common for the district to choose not to renew some temporary contracts, the non-renewal of hundreds of TK-12 teachers, early childhood education teachers and social workers represents a massive change for the next school year from the current workforce of 10,000 total employees. Poly and Jordan high schools in Long Beach may be especially hard hit; 14 and 12 teachers at each site are listed on the district’s document of non-renewals.
