Teacher layoffs seen to lessen area wide
Public school districts in Central New York expect fewer teacher layoffs this summer amid declining student enrollment and district reconfigurations. About 100 or so teachers across four counties around Syracuse are projected to lose their jobs, with some districts like Fulton and Syracuse planning no pink slips. The drop follows past peaks in the late 1970s and reflects ongoing adjustments as kindergarten and secondary class sizes shift.

Longer school year eyed by Regents OK in New York
The New York State Board of Regents plans a sweeping Action Plan to extend the school year by about 10 days for students, with more homework and a 20 day rise in annual work for teachers. Approval by the Regents is likely, but legislative action may take years. The plan would also tighten math science and language requirements and require future teachers to pass an state certification test.
