Welcome back, Clayton

About 100 Clayton County teachers who were laid off earlier this month got their jobs back Monday.
School officials delivered contracts to 100 of the 400 teachers who were told two weeks ago that they would not have a job next school year. The board will vote later this year on the teacher’s employment contracts.
“I’m ecstatic,” said Sid Chapman, president of the Clayton County Education Association. “It restores some sense of credibility to the school system. Many of these teachers were tenured special ed teachers.” Chapman said the teachers had been laid off without any consideration of their performance evaluations or input from their principals.
