The district is sending out 3,783 layoff notices to assistant principals, teachers, counselors, noontime aides and others. Superintendent William Hite says the layoffs will save the district $215 million toward its $300 million shortfall.
“The School District of Philadelphia must live within its means. We can only spend the revenues that are given to us by the city and the state. Unfortunately this is the harsh reality of how that looks,” said Hite.
