In a last-minute and somewhat shocking reversal of a budget-cutting measure, the San Francisco Unified School District reversed the impending layoffs of 34 school counselors and 117 paraeducators — instructional aides, student and family resource personnel, security aides, and other staffing personnel. The district employees had received preliminary termination notices in late February and March in a cost-cutting bid to cover the SFUSD’s $114 million deficit. Very few expected a reprieve.
