[LM_NET] SHARE: USA Today article: Tide turns against schools as foreclosures rise

["Sarles Patricia (18K500)" <PSarles@SCHOOLS.NYC.GOV>]

"Across the United States, declining property values and mortgage foreclosures have 
led to huge losses in property tax revenues, forcing schools to trim budgets, 
freeze hiring, and in a few cases, make substantial job cuts -- raising doubts 
about the future of a range of education programs. 
 
The $787 billion congressional stimulus could ease the pain, but just how much is 
unclear."

my life." - Malcolm X

libraries if the libraries are closed." - Officer Dombranski, NYPD
