SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Worried about possible layoffs, school principal Michele Miller spotted a potential solution in her own home.
The principal of Jackson Elementary in El Dorado Hills, a suburb east of Sacramento, decided to part with most of a shoe collection gathered over the past 15 years.
She is selling 285 pairs — which fill a room in her apartment — to help close a district budget gap of up to $2.2 million. She is asking for a donation of $1,000 a pair to help save the jobs of 17 teachers, three vice principals, library technicians and others.
