Non-permanent Single-Subject Visual Arts Teachers<BR>2. Non-permanent Single-Subject credentialed Music teachers <BR>3. Non-permanent Multi-subject credentialed teachers <BR>Will receive RIF (Reduction-In-Force—i.e. Pink slips) notices. <BR><BR>This means probationary visual arts teachers and music teachers in elementary, middle and high schools will be put on notice and most likely released at the end of the school year. <BR><BR>This will go hand-in-hand with the elimination of the 50% elementary arts teacher positions.<BR><BR>The RIF recommendation will be presented to the Board and voted on by the Board TODAY (Tuesday, March 2) meeting.<BR><BR>. <BR>See if they can attend the Board meeting TODAYas well.<BR><BR>Action has to take place now. <BR>I just contacted Arts For LA and they are moving forward as well.<BR><BR>If you know secondary arts teachers, contact them immediately.
