NY Governor wants to reduce state aid 5% to reduce 9.2 billion budget deficit. Teachers complain it would result in layoffs.
Maybe so, but reality in NY and other states is that teacher hires in recent years have outpaced student enrollment.
New York public schools added 15,000 teachers between 2000-2009 even though enrollment fell by 121,000 students.
