Budget gaps between fiscal year 2008 and 2010 will top $236.4 billion with at least another $45 billion in fiscal year 2011.” The National Governors Association (NGA) and the National Association of State Budget Officials (NASBO) reported recently that “coping with the budget shortfalls half the states cut funding for schools, health care for the poor and correction programs to close $46 billion in budget gaps in fiscal year 2009.” In the same report, NGA and NASBO state that when “looking to the fiscal year 2010 budget year beginning July 1 (in all but four states) 27 states propose cutting elementary school funding.” And Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has said, “States are hurting, and schools across America are facing catastrophic cuts.” |
