Where does the Money Go?

Where does the Money go in Schools?

To the education of the kids, right? Text books, teacher supplies, teacher salaries. Paper for students to write on, pencils and crayons, tissues for runny noses and bandaids. Stickers and educational videos. Books. Educational games.Research based programs that help kids learn to read, write and do math.

Right?

Wrong.

Just ask a teacher. Ask a teacher who ran out of pencils at Christmas – ran out of her own stash bought at the beginning of school. Ask a teacher who got a tax refund for $200 of supplies that didn’t cover everything they bought. Ask a teacher who no longer has a job because of layoff or who is anticipating a layoff at the end of the year.

It’s a good question, isn’t it? Where does the money go?
