Well, there's one group of teachers who aren't being saved. The Kansas City school board voted yesterday to close 26 schools in the city, almost half the current number. Thousands of employees and teachers will be terminated.

Here's an article from Kansas City.com...

Having reported on the alarming school board decision, the article also says that enrollment in Kansas City schools has declined to the same level that it was in 1889, 120 years ago. I guess I'm left wondering whether maybe a giant program of school closures and layoffs in Kansas City wasn't long overdue. Still, the result is going to be a spike in the unemployment rate in KC.
