The Ohlone College Board of Trustess voted unanimously to “postpone indefinitely” the layoffs of classified staff, making formal the settlement with California School Employees Association (CSEA) announced at the Nov. 18 meeting. CSEA President Linda Evers thanked the board, and Trustee Richard Watters said “It’s great not to lay off any employees.” Ohlone administrators, faculty and classified workers will take pay cuts to help make up a $700,000 deficit in the district’s budget caused by a mid-year reduction in state funding. In other action, the “March in March” protest March 22 in Sacramentoagainst cuts in education was discussed by Faculty Senate President Bob Bradshaw and ASOC President Kevin Feliciano. Various Ohlone student and faculty groups are planning to attend.
