I have been researching this kind of thing for our area and it you would NOT believe how much this is happening. During a time when all you hear is that the US can't compete in the global market because our students are prepared for standardized tests but not for the real world, they are cutting more and more educational programs. I find page after page and article after article that give examples of how school districts are balancing the budget by cutting teachers. AAAAGGGH!

This is happening while the Superintendents make 6 figure salaries and have personal automobile allowances ...

Our tiny little school district is dealing with a $1.2 million dollar budget shortfall for next year. I don't know how the frak they came to that number. These are two schools in the district and like 2 classes per grade in the elementary school. They are planning on cutting 15 elementary teacher positions.

Where these 15 positions are going to come from is beyond me. Instead I have weird dreams where we get odd letters from the superintendent saying that they were able to balance the budget with all of the Box Tops for Education and milk caps they ...

Ugh, you have my sympathies (and CD my admiration). We are gathering bids to replace our ancient (as in: slate installed in the late 1880s) roof, and it hurts. There are other things I want to do with that money (like, save it for the college tuition we're going to have to pay in just a few short years).
