TPS teacher who watched Obama sign bill is laid off
Board not using $7.6M share to rehire workers
By CHRISTOPHER D. KIRKPATRICK
BLADE STAFF WRITER
As Toledo Public Schools teacher Amanda VanNess stood in the Oval Office and watched President Obama sign an education stimulus bill, she already knew she'd lost her teaching job back home to budget cuts and low seniority.
The $26 billion stimulus bill, designed to save 160,000 teacher and other government jobs across the nation, couldn't save her position at Pickett Elementary.
In fact, Ms. VanNess has been laid off twice from TPS this year.

What is even more ironic they have the money. They opted to "save" the money until next year so they can bring back some of the laid off teachers.
They are pocketing that money... when you have a truckload of money its 10 for me, 1 for you... never trust a stimulus program when the entire government is corrupt...

You would think they would keep her on so as not to look stupid .
This is exactly what major corporations across this country are doing.
As evilnewbie said 'they are pocketing that money'.
I fear things are going to get worse.
