Senate panel approves bill for teacher pay cuts, furloughs, layoffs

AUSTIN - School districts would be able to reduce salaries and furlough teachers for up to six days - with layoffs used only as a last resort - under a compromise bill approved Thursday by a Senate committee to help districts deal with funding cuts.
The measure, drafted by Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Education Committee, would authorize school boards and superintendents to take certain steps to reduce expenditures as the state slashes funding over the next two school years.
