You clearly do NOT know or understand Education Law. What you are quoting represents only a PIECE of a law that means if a new student comes into the district (as a special needs with an IEP) or one in the district is identified as needing special education where they need a teacher/aide because the other ones have the number of students permitted in a classroom then and only then can a teacher/aide be hired......I am not going to squabble with you....

Bottom line....if Lackawanna's budget fails a second time, they CANNOT hire new employees. They are already in EXCESS with employees and administrators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suggest you get out of the books.....and watch what happens. Lackawanna has had a contingency budget before.........
