Despite residents paying more than $1,000 a year in parcel taxes, San Marino Unified School District will send layoff notices to nearly one-third of its teachers, Superintendent Dr. Gary Woods said. "We're almost at a point where we are unable to operate as a public school," Woods said. Preliminary layoff notices will go out March 15 to 43 of the district's 130 teachers, a move officials say is needed to help close a $5 million budget gap. Final notices must be received by May 15 for teachers who won't have jobs in the fall. The notices come less than a year after San Marino residents approved the district's second parcel tax.
