Hundreds of parents, students and teachers packed the Hamburg Central School Board meeting Tuesday night to object to the layoffs of 17 employees, including 13 teachers.
Parents, students and concerned community members were not holding back on their disapproval of the sudden teacher layoffs that were announced by Hamburg Central School District school officials.
The decision to lay off 17 teachers and aides, and not fill 7 retiring positions was made last week, but the financial woes began years ago the superintendent says.
