Title: Teacher vultures

About this cartoon: With the uncertainty over budget cuts to deal with California's multi-billion-dollar deficit, hundreds of thousands of teachers have been given advance layoff notices (the state is required to give such notices to anyone even potentially getting laid off). A news story in the Star reports that other states are using this situation as an opportunity to cherry-pick away nervous teachers for their own school districts.
