More than 600 Los Angeles Unified School District teachers and staff could be out of work by summer. School officials say they're facing a $160 million budget deficit that could make the layoffs necessary. Workers say it's because of a contract dispute. The LAUSD board voted to issue the layoff notices on Tuesday -- but the job cuts can be avoided if the district can balance its books by June.
