Education budgets absorb billions in cuts

June 15, 2011
$2.5 billion in K-12 spending cuts and $5 billion in higher-education cuts have been identified

From Stateline.org: Although final nationwide numbers haven't been compiled, states have proposed a net total of $2.5 billion in cuts to K-12 school systems and $5 billion in cuts to higher education, according to the National Association of State Budget Officers. What makes the cuts more difficult is that administrators are running out of ways to keep the cuts from affecting classroom instruction.
