Turn the TV on and you will hear about our economy's impact on something especially education. This means that during the 2009-2010 year, parents and students can expect a decline in teachers in schools as well as resources. The mandates for "No Child Left Behind" continue forward with questions about whether it is soon be "No Teachers Left Behind". In North Carolina there is already discussions include reducing the number of classroom teachers by 12,000 for the 2009-2010 school year. In addition, there is talk of a 10 percent reduction in teachers' salaries. The pay check of all state employees were cut this month by .5 percent.The proposed cuts don't stop but continue with classroom supply funds, textbook allocations, reductions in administrators per schools and much more.
Please share information about what is happening in your state and efforts to protect educational programs. Education can't be undermined with cuts which will impact children's future skills to be prepared for college and the workforce.
