Voluntary leave offer comes up short for Unified

Seven teachers took Kenosha Unified up on an offer to take a voluntary layoff or extended leave as the district still grapples with a potential $9.3 million budget shortfall.

Sheronda Glass, executive director of human resources, said she had hoped at least 50 teachers would have taken the voluntary layoff offer, and there are no plans to sweeten the deal at this time. Had that many taken the offer, it would have saved the district another $3.2 million.
