Skyrocketing Costs Hitting School Districts Hard



The super-inflation we're all suffering this election year has also hit your local school district hard- according to the Associated Press.


Due to continuing high fuel prices- some school districts are going to four-day weeks- others are cutting educational field trips and like activities.
Food costs are also severe. More than a few districts across America have been forced to raise the price of school lunches.

For the problem of high food prices- why don't school districts and other entities affected start vegetable gardens?

To address the fuel concerns- let more kids WALK to school. This will provide environmental solutions as well as helping American kids' obesity problems.
