Earlier, district officials said perhaps 115 layoffs were in the works, the Paterson Press reported. In the first wave of layoffs, dozens of secretaries got notices.

Paterson Education Association President John McEntee said no union members got layoff notices related to the budget, but some untenured teachers received non-renewals, according to the Paterson Press.

In the process of last year's budget cuts, the school district issued the dreaded notices to over 350, including 175 teachers, the Paterson Press reported.
