Given Funds to Rehire, Schools Wait and See...

As schools handed out pink slips to teachers this spring, states made a beeline to Washington to plead for money for their ravaged education budgets. But now that the federal government has come through with $10 billion, some of the nation’s biggest school districts are balking at using their share of the money to hire teachers right away.

The district laid off 682 teachers and counselors and about 2,000 support workers this spring and was not sure it would be able to hire any of them back with the stimulus money. The district says it could be forced to cut 4,500 more people next year.

“It’s a real double-edged sword,” said Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for the governor. “This money will not be there next year, and we’re not going to get back up to the funding that they had previously been used to.”

That stimulus money went to school administrators and unions... the little people saw little of it.

Keep the money and the power local, it doesn't need to go the Washington to be wasted and then divvied up by the bureaucrat’s whims. There is no such thing as federal money.

In your opinion... (Which I totally reject...along with the entire Federal Government...) But I do so love to watch the libertarian mindset...It's almost quaint.
