All 2,000 Providence Teachers Told They Could be Fired

"All 2,000 Providence teachers told they could be fired," by Liz Goodwin. February 24, 2011.


Thousands of teachers in Providence, Rhode Island are given a warning whether they'll face a layoff or not. The purpose of this is to close the budget deficit. Central Falls High School, one of the worst performing schools in the state, refused an education reform that included after-school tutoring, longer school days, and an evalution system by the union, claiming that poverty was the cause of the low performances rather than their efforts.
