Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) is laying off approximately 150 employees. These cuts include teachers, counselors, and all mental health clinicians. The district faces an ailing budget, declining enrollment, and rising costs. The Board of Trustees approved the layoffs in December 2025. Some layoff notices may be rescinded due to early retirement incentives.
