The Record: "The pain is everywhere, in urban and suburban districts alike: In Paterson, 89 layoffs and the elimination of another 243 district jobs through attrition. In Hackensack, 108 teachers and instructional staff layoffs — with 49 custodial and administrative jobs also cut. At Westwood Regional, 10 staff cuts. In Ridgewood, six jobs cut. … For most districts, a 30% spike in the cost of health benefits this year — combined with increasing costs for special education student services and electricity — is breaking district budgets, a chorus of school leaders say."
