Austin District Holds Community Budget Forum Tonight:

Who? Who is involved? Who does/did the situation affect? Who said so?

All of the Austin ISD Schools.

They are cutting teachers, because there budget has been lowered.

When? When did or will this happen? When was this discovered?

In between the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011.

Where? Where did or will this happen?

In the Austin ISD School District.

Why? Why did this happen or will it happen?

Because they can't afford to pay all of the teachers.

How? How did it or will it happen? How much does it cost? How many people does this affect? How do you feel about this?

This will affect the teachers that will lose their job, but also the kids because their classes would have to get bigger and that will make it harder to learn. I think that they could try their best on not cutting off any of the teachers because it is much easier to learn in a classroom with a small number of students.
