I have a friend who works for a non-profit. She told me this...
Those layoffs are people who are temporary workers. What happened is the state got all of this money so they decided to increase their payrolls by adding temp workers. That way, they could get more workers but they don't have the protections of regular government employess like the benefits and guaranteed no layoff clauses in their employment contracts. They are mostly admin and clerks.....people like that. Not social workers and probation officers and "degreed" people.

After school programs work.

Crime rate for juveniles from 3:00pm to 6:00pm has dropped since the introduction of after school programs. I hope your grant writer stresses this. The ramifications of losing programs like yours would be a true recipe for destruction.
