DAYTON — The Dayton Public Schools board of education voted this afternoon to begin a temporary work stoppage for 114 teachers and 56 bus drivers and 37 clerical positions.
The board also passed a resolution that will layoff 25 administration positions due to restructuring, lack of work and financial reasons. Dr. Elizabeth Lolli, superintendent, said these layoffs are temporary, however that language was not included in the resolution that was voted on.
