In The News: School Board Meetings Into The Wee Hours

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Arlington ISD (Texas) was already facing a budget shortfall of $13 million.  Add on up to an additional $35 million of state budget cuts and you have yet another district in a deep, deep hole.  So deep, in fact, that demands from parents like the one below are basically absurd:

"Parents said the district needs to come up with a way to cut costs that does not affect students and teachers."

No district can cut $48 million dollars and not have a dramatic impact on the students and teachers.  Let's be somewhat realistic.
