Let's put that in the proper perspective. In September, outgoing Governor Riley cut the Education Budget by 9.5 % in 2010 and 11% in the previous year. If Bentley orders the proration he's asking about, it would mean budget cuts of about 33% over the past few years. How do you operate a school system on 33% less money?
Stimulus money (that the Alabama Congressional Delegation voted against) is gone, though it saved thousands of Alabama teacher's jobs.

so, the stimulus money TEMPORARILY saved thousands of teachers' jobs, but what about now, when the stimulus money is gone?
The largest portion of the stimulus money (18%) actually went to the prison system to prop it up for 3 months. Really shows where our priorities are in Alabama doesn't it?
