The local school starts back tomorrow with the looming specter of furloughs hanging over the teachers’ heads.  It is hard enough knowing that we may have to be furloughed three consecutive days, I can imagine how hard it is for the teachers in grade school that already know it is coming with their meager paychecks getting smaller as a result.  Having to teach with the financial worries and the possibility of even more furloughs in the future is not beneficial to the learning environment and the kids will suffer for it.  Hopefully this financial crisis will start to turn the corner soon and state revenue will start to pick up.
