MPS cuts jobs....

Today it was voted on by the Montgomery Board of Education to cut jobs in the Montgomery school system. Included in the cuts were 63 teaching jobs and about 83 other jobs including assistant principals, counselors, and secretaries. The cuts are due to lack of funds available. Right now i'm sure the Education lottery looks pretty good to some people. The education lottery is popular in some states including Georgia. From my understanding , some of the money from the lottery goes towards the school, salaries, and provides scholarships to students. I know personally that some students do receive scholarships, because a friend in high school moved to GA and recieved one. Of course it was shot down in Alabama due to the lack of support by residents. Maybe something similar can be adopted here in the state. Not saying it will solve all the problems with education funds, but at this point it couldn't hurt anything.
