JANESVILLE The Janesville School Board delayed voting on the district’s 2009-10 staffing plan Tuesday night, giving the administration and teachers more time to work on ways to avoid layoffs.
The teachers union had agreed before the meeting to extend the deadline by which layoff notices must be issued for the next school year, from May 1 to May 15.
Union and administration officials would not comment on how many layoffs might be hanging in the balance. Much depends on whether more teachers register their intent to retire by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, the deadline for doing so if the teachers want to receive certain retirement benefits.
