Cuts increased In California, more than $4
billion was proposed to be cut from the schools budgets.
“It would decimate education as it exists right now,” - Paul Chatman, a school board member from Ocean View, Calif.
School districts around the country are trying to persuade their communities to vote for a higher tax on school funding.

Impact on SchoolsBecause of these cuts, many programs are
being cut as well. Programs, such as reading or fine arts, are
also being cut due to budget restrictions.

Impact on StudentsPrograms designed to help students succeed in life
are now being cut. Students are not getting the resources they need or
the help they deserve. Class sizes will be increased and teaching positions
will be cut back.

What is being done?Teachers and administrators are trying to
manage through these tough times.Communities are trying to raise funding for
public schools through taxes.In 2009, $100 billion of the $787 billion
stimulus package went straight to helping education.
In the end….Six months after the stimulus package,
education all throughout the country is still in a crisis.
Many are relating this to another Great Depression, due to the amount of estimated layoffs that could occur.
Class sizes are increasing as resources are depleting.
Many support another economic stimulus, but do not want to keep borrowing from foreign countries.
