Public schools are opening across the country but, as The New American has reported, many students aren’t returning. And that, as the Associated Press noted, is causing many public schools major budgetary difficulties.
In Houston, for example, 11,000 students haven’t returned, forcing the district to cut $60 million from next year’s budget.
In Olathe, Kansas, 800 students haven’t returned, forcing the district to cut 140 jobs.
