The California Teachers Assn. announced a statewide bus tour to protest 18,000 layoff notices sent to school employees in March.

Union officials will travel over six weeks to at least 10 schools around the state, starting today at Monroe Middle School in Inglewood and Simpson Middle School in Rialto, to raise opposition to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal to cut $4.8 billion from education.

Districts have until May 15 to notify teachers whether their layoffs will go through.
