Bloomberg’s NYC Budget Said to Include Firing 4,666 Teachers

This is another sad news about many teachers being fired, not because they are bad teachers, but there is not enough money to pay them.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will present a preliminary budget for next fiscal year tomorrow that proposes reducing the city’s 80,000 teachers by 6,166, including 4,666 dismissals, administration officials said.
An improving economy has helped pour about $2 billion of unanticipated revenue into city coffers, though it’s not enough to avoid personnel cuts, said the officials, who have seen the proposal. In November, Bloomberg said he would eliminate 10,000 of the most-populous U.S. city’s 300,000 workers to close a $2.4 billion deficit in a $67.5 billion spending plan.

This article made me consider donating money to a nation wide charity instead of local charity. I think almost every school in America right now is in at least a little trouble. This educational budget cut is a nation wide problem, not only California. It is really sad to see people who work for children such as teachers getting laid off. This is not only affecting education but employment. If this problem spreads more and more, it could lead to more problems such as crimes.
This problem is intimate with the young generation and future of our country.
