Dire Straights for Fayette County Students

I'm still at a loss to understand how the Fayette County Board of Education is out of money for our schools. Didn't they think to put some away for a rainy day? Or did they waste way too much of it when the economy was rolling in the green?

The students and their parents are now receiving pleas from teachers to help. Now the parents have to step up their donations to the individual teachers' needs if they want to continue with our legendary education in Fayette County. As I recall hearing from parents, just going to school in August means an outlay of cash for our public education. Now, the parents will have to increase their donations.

Sure would help the struggling parents if they could get a tax write off. I also bet the donations would go up as well.
