I read somewhere that the sequester is going to impact special education. I didn't read anything specific and I can't recall where I read it. But, I am definitely frightened by any future that includes a loss in special education teachers.
I fear a tighter budget will cause many kids to miss out on special education services for the sake of saving money. If that's the case, I know Patty will be okay because I won't let a lack of services affect her performance. Patty will be college ready at graduation if it kills me getting her there. But, I do worry about the other kids who don't have me to come home to at the end of the day.
Do you have any sequestration fears, or is it just me?
I have major sequestration fears. In addition to cutting special services funding, my husband might be forced to work no more than 32 hours a week, which would REALLY hurt.
ReplyDeletei keep thinking there must be a way to save money without cutting employee hours. i wonder how much the government spends on postage and office supplies? wonder what could be saved if they suspended the use of expense accounts? there just have to be other places to find the money if there is someone willing to look for it!
