Meeting the Budget Challenges in Education

Many school districts throughout New England having been cutting budget items in a variety of ways in an effort to meet the challenges of the current economy. These cutbacks have included eliminating teaching and support positions, cutting back on maintenance, eliminating subjects and/or other resources and/or extracurricular activities as well. There have also been cuts in salaries and increases in employees’ share of health insurance costs. And the list continues. . . .

A recent Providence Journal article looks at some of the cost-cutting efforts being made by school districts in Rhode Island. To access this article, please visit:
