From the Office of (my town's) Superintendent of Schools:
(My Town’s) State Aid to Drop 60%
After months of awaiting word from (the state capital), (my town) was notified Wednesday that the school district will receive 60.1% less funding next year.
Fewer dollars next year – a total loss of $5,488,485 – means that some programs, services and staffing will have to be eliminated, school officials say. At public meetings over the past two months, administrators and Board members have warned repeatedly that there will be reductions in programs, services, and personnel, both in the schools and at Central Office.
The next meeting of the Board of Education will be on Monday, March 22, 7:30 p.m., in the ____ Annex.
----------------------------------------------------------
How does a School Board operate with that kind of loss of funds? One of the reasons we chose to move to this town was all of the diverse programs that the school have. I was looking to sign my 2nd grader up for his schools orchestra next year, who knows if that will even exist anymore after these cuts.
MERDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess when times are hard the man goes after the schools/programs with the fattest budgets first. Can't do that in NYC when parents/kids are fighting for the most basic educational needs like enough room/desks for everyone to attend.
USA, dumbing down our future one bad financial decision at a time - but we'll blow your shit up with our amazing military.
