Education Budgets at Risk
Across the country, states are facing increased budget deficits, falling tax revenues, and reduced education funding:

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick last week ordered state agencies to cut more than $1 billion to close a $1.4 billion deficit, including $3 million from kindergarten expansion.- Education Week; October, 2008

• In Florida the summer make-up exam for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) was eliminated to help reduce the state budget.
