I sure hope that we get together and come up with some ideas for our kids' sake!!!!!! These schools need MORE money for technology, tutoring, and definatley to NOT LOSE teachers!!!!!!

Whoever is in charge of the budget should not be spending money that is not in the bank yet. We (as a state) need to come up with a special tax from lottery (or something) to make sure these kids get their education! THEY ARE OUR FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!

I call BS to the state taking money away. Ok, I know there is a problem with funding this year overall but there is no way that all of this happened to Greene County where we lost all these Teaching Assistant jobs, Inschool teacher jobs, and have stopped hiring and started moving people. IF this were the case, then wouldn't other counties be hit with a "decline" in state funding? Have you read anything about any other counties having this big a problem? Has the city given any indication that they lost almost a million dollars from the state? I wish the Greeneville Sun would ask to see the Special Education Budget for the last 3 years. Might be an interesting read.
