Layoffs, raises: It's a mixed bag for Sacramento-area teachers
Most teachers in the Sacramento area will receive raises when they return to school.These increases are automatic "step" increments, and many teachers don't consider them raises.They are improvements, though, and few other public employees have been able to avoid big pay cuts this spring and summer. Those raises will cost school districts millions as education budgets continue to shrink. Not all teachers have been spared: Another layoff wave takes effect Aug. 15, adding to the more than 500 teachers let go in May at five local districts.
