Employees from Socorro and Canutillo independent school districts received layoff notices last week, impacting music teachers and nurses as part of budget cuts aiming to address significant deficitsโ$38 million for Socorro ISD and $5.8 million for Canutillo ISD. Socorro ISD, which previously laid off about 300 employees, plans to finalize the list of affected staff by April 16, while Canutillo ISD intends to reduce its nursing staff significantly and replace some positions with licensed vocational nurses. Union representatives are working to support laid-off employees, providing resources and exploring options to retain those affected.
