Dozens Of PPS Teachers Could Be Furloughed Soon – CBS Pittsburgh

Dozens of Pittsburgh Public School teachers could be furloughed in just a few weeks.

According to Pittsburgh Public, 33 teachers and one non-professional are impacted. The furloughs would start on Aug. 18, less than two weeks from now.

The district notified the 34 people by the first of the month. The Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers said this has some feeling nervous.

“They have families, homes, mortgages, rents and things to pay,” Union Parliamentarian and Staff Representative Harold Grant said.

He said the notices went to teachers who started working in the district within the past couple of years.

“This is something that we would never want for anyone,” Grant said.
