As powerful winds sent embers flying across their neighborhood, the father and son tried to douse the property with a garden hose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But as the fire crept closer, they had no choice but to flee. The house was destroyed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Not long after, more bad news came. Mr. Lopez, a teacher at John Muir High School in Pasadena, Calif., was at an academic conference in Sacramento when he got a phone call from the principal. He was being laid off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Seven weeks after losing his home, he was told he was losing his job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Lopez is one of 151 workers with the Pasadena Unified School District who received layoff notices this year. And he\u2019s one of a dozen teachers who both lost their homes during the Eaton fire and are preparing to lose their jobs when the school year ends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAfter losing my home, my classroom was basically all I owned,\u201d Mr. Lopez said. \u201cEverything that I had owned after the fire was left inside my classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Layoff notices across California school districts are typical early in the calendar year. But in a school district where thousands of students and employees were forced to evacuate during the wildfire, the layoff notices in Pasadena have been a heavy blow, a crisis upon crisis for many families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some students who lost their homes will now lose their favorite teachers. Some teachers who\u2019ve been displaced for months are now losing a colleague. Some administrators who have struggled to forge a sense of unity and normalcy are now dealing with more tension and uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At a school board meeting in late March, many students spoke during the public comment period to show support for their teachers, pleading with district officials to reconsider the layoffs. Some students brought signs reading \u201cSave Our Teachers\u201d and \u201cStudents Deserve Stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One sophomore at Pasadena High School described a math teacher as not just an educator but a \u201cmentor and guide.\u201d Another student at James Madison Elementary School said her family had been affected by the fires and that the layoffs were creating more stress for students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI just want to say this,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is a very poor choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Mr. Lopez, 27, was back in front of his students after receiving the layoff notice, he planned to power through the lesson without mentioning it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI saw them, and I just couldn\u2019t do it,\u201d Mr. Lopez said. \u201cI just broke down, and I told them the news. They were disappointed. They were upset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While much of the city of Pasadena emerged unscathed from the Eaton fire, many students, teachers and employees in the school district lived in nearby Altadena, which bore the brunt of the fire. Ninety teachers within the district lost their homes, according to the United Teachers of Pasadena, the union that represents the teachers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokeswoman for the Pasadena school district did not respond to multiple requests seeking an interview with Elizabeth Blanco, the superintendent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/secure.smore.com\/n\/y0fae\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">March 26 guest editorial<\/a> published in a district newsletter, Ms. Blanco wrote that she understood the desire to support students and teachers. \u201cHowever, we also face the reality that without cuts, we would face an even more severe fiscal situation next year,\u201d Ms. Blanco wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By combining federal money, fire recovery funds and other adjustments, the Pasadena Unified School District was able to create 25 new positions for \u201cteacher on special assignment\u201d roles to help soften the blow of the layoffs. Ms. Blanco said that workers who have received layoff notices can apply for those positions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By the end of the school year, many notices are often rescinded after districts confirm their budgets and assess staffing needs. As of Thursday, three layoff notices had been rescinded, according to the union.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The layoffs have shaken young teachers and those who are new to the district, including Consuelo Martinez, 27, who taught at Muir High for two years and received a layoff notice in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Martinez\u2019s home was not affected by the fire, but she has tried to support co-workers and students who lost homes or were displaced, setting up racks of donated clothes in her classroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAfter the fires, for a lot of them, coming back to school was like trying to get into normalcy and community and support,\u201d Ms. Martinez said of students. \u201cAnd now they see something being taken away from them that was helping them feel safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The layoff notice wasn\u2019t a first for some teachers, including Mr. Lopez. He also received one last year. It was ultimately rescinded and he kept his job. But now, he said, it\u2019s harder to be optimistic that he\u2019ll be able to stay on, in the district where he grew up and went to school himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis year, it feels really different,\u201d Mr. Lopez said. \u201cThere\u2019s way more uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He has been busy sorting out his plans \u2014 where to live, and how to navigate insurance claims and whether he\u2019ll rebuild on the property.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s been a lot to navigate and juggle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Owens Ordonez, 27, who teaches biology and environmental science at Muir High, was told by the district last month he was being laid off. In the weeks since, his friends encouraged him to update his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and start applying for jobs, but he said preparing for next steps was more difficult after he was displaced by the fire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ordonez\u2019s home in Altadena survived the flames, but he has been unable to live there because of smoke damage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then he received a bit of good news last week: His layoff notice had been rescinded. He will keep his job for the next school year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The news brought mixed emotions. \u201cI don\u2019t think I rejoiced,\u201d he said. \u201cI was just once again in shock. I felt kind of guilty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/06\/us\/la-fires-pasadena-school-layoffs.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The morning after the Eaton fire broke out in Southern California, Sergio Lopez and his father returned to Altadena in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[283,912,284],"class_list":["post-17777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-california","tag-education","tag-wildfires"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>After the L.A.
