Chicago Public Schools layoffs include nearly 500 teachers
Nearly 1,000 Chicago Public Schools employees, including almost 500 teachers, got pink slips Friday. The good news is that laid-off staff members can apply for the approximately 1,000 open jobs at other schools in the district. About 60 percent of laid-off teachers have gotten another job with CPS in the past, according to CPS. [WGN]
