New York State Government should be run like a business!!!
The existing law governing teacher layoffs requires the last
teacher hired are the first ones to be laid off, the result is that
NYS loses many great teachers and is forced to keep teachers
who may not be as good. Layoffs should be based on
performance and value added and not seniority.
LIFO works with inventory not with people!!! If NYS were run
like a business, the key focus would be on the clients who in this
case would be the students and layoffs would be based on the
best interests of the business and the clients.
