    Yep...it's universally really hard for a large % of America. Two school districts that I'm employed by have been doing all that they can to 'NOT LAY CLASSIFIED STAFF OFF' but my hours have been cut pretty sharply! They have; lowered the thermostat to 65ยบ, had all extra microwaves/small personal refrigerators removed from each class room, some area schools are/have switched to 4 day schools with longer days, cut the portions of the meals that are being served, turned out lights in the hall ways, asked teachers to not use overhead lights if their class room has plenty of natural light coming in the windows...so it's getting to be worrisome but these measures could have been done a long time ago...I'm just wondering when the 'NEED FOR THE CONTINUAL SPORTS OVERHEAD' will start to feel the impact of the budget cut backs :confused:
