Original Message Georgia law requires that students attend school for 180 days each school year. However, "state budget cuts" have forced our county to cut its school calender back to 175 days.
I'm not even sure how they are legally getting away with that.

At the end of last year, 60 teachers were laid off county-wide. Some of them were rehired before school started back, but not all.

I'm wondering....
How many other school districts are making drastic cutbacks due to budget cuts?
Are they just trimming the fat, or is it a sign of how bad the economy really is?
