Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有偿付能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it's impossible for them to solve this problem.
The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. "It's extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level," said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.
Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $ 9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll(工资单)to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.
District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts in its 38 schools.
At Coffman's request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district's finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $ 212 million bond issue for schools.
In Frederick, students' parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.
Some $ 36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district's $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.
"We employ thousands of people in this community," said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. "We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected."
At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum(论坛). "Rumors about what's happening to the district are moving at lighting speed," said a student. "We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead."

Here below are two pieces taken from a blog. ▲ Growing up as one of three girls I've always been keen on women's issues. And now with three daughters to raise, I have the responsibility of ensuring that they grow up without any preconceived (预 想的) ideas of their capabilities & potential based on their gender. Earlier this year I read an article that indicated that women surpassed men in the workforce for the first time in history. That is a milestone! And while we still don't have equality in leadership positions or pay (especially if you're a mom), we have made significant progress over the past couple of decades. All this prompted me to do some digging around to see what else I could learn. Here are some fun facts from the census bureau for you: ● 29% of women aged 25 or older had obtained a bachelors degree in 2008 vs. 18% in 1987. ● 55% of all college students were women in the Fall of 2008. ● 60% of women 20 years or older participate in the workforce today vs. 34% in 1950. ● 14% of the armed forces were women in 2008, compared to 2% in 1950. ▲ We're all looking to stretch the value of our dollar as much as possible. Every day as you juggle the needs of your family, remember to eat right, take your vitamins and keep up with laundry and bills-you probably also look for budget friendly, family appropriate activities. A day trip to a national park is a great way to explore all the wonders of nature: withoutbreaking the bank. Once or twice a month, my wife and I will prepare for a leisurely hike in one of our favorite parks close to home. The night before, she makes some homemade granola and I make sure our reusable water bottles are full and on ice. Next time you're looking for an inexpensive adventure that your family isn't soon to forget, take a hike! To find a national park near you, just visit www. nps. gov. |
