The legislation would authorize districts to order up to six days of unpaid furlough for teachers and other professionals and to reduce their salaries. Seniority protection for teachers would be eliminated, and districts would be allowed to inform teachers their contracts won’t be renewed 10 days before the end of the school year, instead of the current 45 days.
