In years past, the School Department has issued layoff notices, with the understanding that most jobs would be restored. This week, however, the department sent out notices of possible dismissal.

“Dismissal doesn’t have any recall provisions,” said Carlton Jones, the district’s chief operating officer. “If they are [laid off], they can come back on the recall list. We can’t afford to do that this year.”
