Where Else to Cut? Schools Having to do Less with Less
After Furlough Fridays (which affect just about all state of Hawai’i employees but most equate with schools), apparently it’s believed that more blood can be squeezed out of the rock that is known as the public school system.
The Hawai’i legislature asked for 5% more in spending cuts for public schools; they were presented with about half that. Which means $37.7 million dollars.
It’s hard to imagine that the schools can endure much more without considerably negative effects to the education of our schoolchildren. As they say in the poorest countries of the world–we can’t afford education, but we really can’t afford to be uneducated.
