WalterV thanks for the link. To ALL please send your Congressman, or Senator an email requesting information on this matter. Many issues are local and handled by the school boards, yet it is the House and Senate who decide which funding will be cut, or increased. Although I doubt any increases will be forthcoming.
Get involved with your local school board, find out when the meetings regarding budgets are taking place. We support our schools with the taxes, and have a voice in these matters, if we choose to speak up. We cannot find and keep good teachers, let alone fund our sports programs. GET INVOLVED!!!
