Thousands of teachers could lose their jobs after an arbitrator sided with the county teachers union forcing Clark County School District to grant pay raises to teachers. District officials wanted teachers to accept a pay freeze to help close a $63 million budget deficit but union officials claimed the district has the money to honor the promised pay increases. As a result of the arbitrators decision district officials says more than 1,000 positions could be cut to make up for the cost of those raises. We talk with CCSD Trustee, Carolyn Edwards about the arbitrators decision and how many teachers could lose their jobs.
