The Edutopia Poll
by Sara Ring
The impact of the worldwide financial crisis is being felt on Wall Street, on Main Street, and quite possibly in your school. In one dramatic example, risky investments by five Wisconsin school districts resulted in a total loss of $200 million intended for teacher-retirement funds and school operating budgets. Even schools that haven't suffered such devastating losses must still contend with shrinking state education budgets, which can lead to impacts ranging from losing arts and sports programs to investing less in technology to downsizing staff. Has the faltering economy impacted your school? We want to know!
