The article in the statesman, No magic hat for Austin schools' budget woes it states a sad but true reality for the students in the Austin school districts, a reality that will force teachers to teach classrooms that over stuffed, because of the 350 faculty staff cut and a third of librarians. this leaves children not getting the attention they require because the classrooms will be crammed. A district-appointed task force has also suggested that the shutting down as many as nine schools, and once again this leads to the fact this will create a crammed learning environment for the students to learn and the teachers to teach in.
The author of this article states that the schools that are at risk of being shut down are the schools that deal with minority children. These schools that face the risk of being shut down has an affect on the students, because this will make it harder for them to attend school, because they will have to change schools. They will attend schools and be put in classrooms that are to full, and they wont be able to get the help they need from teaches because of the classroom size. Ultimately it all leads back to what the children of today have to deal with because the legislature has done a poor job with the state budget. We as a state wouldn't be facing this crisis of layoffs and faculty cuts and the ones that pay the price of others poor judgment are the children. If this article caught your eye and you are interested in our children future this article can be found in Austin American Statesman.
