Money money money

Things are not looking good for Detroit which must close half of its schools. Thirty-two in a class doesn't look so bad when you realize they are facing 60. (How do you get 60 in a classroom?)

Mrs. H says her district is tightening its belt as well.

I know we will be - but there are no specifics yet.

From what we can tell, our district will be *short* 400-500 million dollars next year.

As a reward for her foresight and wonderful budgeting, our superintendent's contract has been extended another year.

She is the most highly paid super. in the country: $348,000 a year. Meanwhile we expect there will be massive teacher layoffs next month.
