TC starts furlough days for some employees: first step in cutting $500,000 from budget - Dennis McCall, Gridley Herald

Taft College has taken the first step in an effort to produce a half million dollars in savings in this year’s budget. At a special meeting Sept. 27 the college’s Board of Trustees approved cost-cutting moves that will take a small bite out of employee health care coverage and require some employee groups to take three unpaid furlough days. Like other California school districts, the West Kern Community College District has been buffeted by three years of budget cuts and the threat of more severe bleeding if tax initiatives aimed at shoring up school funding fail. http://www.gridleyherald.com/article/20121005/NEWS/121009829/-1/googlenewssitemap
