Our town's local treasurer Mr. Another Accountant announced Tuesday, April 28. 2010 that layoffs were planned at the end of this school year.

After summer vacation, 17 teachers, two administrative assistants and a security guard and one custodial staff would be permanently let go said Mr. Accountant. Among the teachers were two coaches but not the head coach of our fighting raptors said Miss Bookings also of the finance department. No lays offs were planned yet in Administration but that could be forthcoming if the budget crisis continues.

At the announcement meeting on the matter local business woman and sports booster Miss Irish Whiskey owner of Toni's Drive-thru expressed disgust, anger, and resigned acceptance that no-one from administration was effected. "This is the third layoff and the finance, personnel and executive administration continue to sleep like a baby", cooed the Drive thru owner, Miss Whiskey, a demur brunette who water boards over at the lake when its sunny.


Miss Bookings, a green eyed, red headed, long legged, long distance runner reported on the numbers behind the decision, while facing the auditorium meeting sans podium. Her and Mr. Accountant, who have been spending a lot of extra time on this matter, together believe the layoffs are fairly placed across the gene pool of employees; said the young Miss, as she sighed deeply when confronted by this reporter at the April meeting. Mr. Accountant and I have spent many an evening working on this often involving Miss Ratio Analysis also of the finance department, a blue-eyed blond of 26, and a member of the fitness club over at sand run. " Miss Ratio analysis was not formally dressed for the meeting but appeared perky and ready to this reporter as she a-waited further combat if the situation presents itself.

Students were unavailable for comment. Local homeowners were not consulted. Mr. Accountant's wife claimed lack of information at this time.
