The board voted on financial exigency to develop a plan where those cuts would be made.

Superintendent Henry Yzaguirre said this is their effort to be efficient. If they cannot place staff during the consolidation of the West Campus closure, then the Reduction in Force (RIF) layoffs would be the last option.

The RIF would not impact elementary campuses.
