Proposed state budget cuts to education would have the greatest impact on the state’s poorest school districts, according to an analysis by the Education Law Center, an advocacy group for public education.
In some cases, cuts per student at urban schools would be 10 times higher than for their wealthier neighbors.
When looking at the students who attend schools in urban districts, these are the very children who benefit most from the support services that are being cut.
As educators, we must be advocates for students. While facing budget cuts, we must not lose sight of student learning and growth.
