Fifty-five teachers have been laid off by Ann Arbor Public Schools

The district has authorized as many as 141 layoffs to try to correct a 25-million-dollar budget shortfall. Another 46 staff members have chosen to leave or retire. A 14-million-dollar accounting error is among the reasons for the budget issue along with over 12-hundred students leaving since the COVID-19 pandemic closed the schools to in-person learning for a full year.
