this source talks about the impact of the budget cuts would be on the students. schools were cutting out after school programs and laying off teachers in order to save some money. this quote in the article stood out to me "If Congress fails to create a long-term plan to reduce the budget deficit by the end of the year, across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration will go into effect on almost every discretionary program, reducing funding for education, defense, public safety and all other federal agencies.". there trying to figure out any way to first save money before touching the things students need and cutting teachers. if this plan does not work they will need to go and do something no one will like. 

2. http://thinkprogress.org/education/2012/01/06/399373/teachers-work-free-budget-cuts/?mobile=nc
this source talks about teachers are offering to work for free. the reason for this is because the school district is already in a poor state, filled with African American students, so they do not want to have the budget affect there education. teachers agreed to stay in the schools as long as they are able to without the pay. the teachers are putting the students first before themselves. this shows how much the school budget is hurting the teachers everywhere.

3. http://civsourceonline.com/2012/07/02/pennsylvania-governor-signs-budget-education-reforms-strikes-deal-to-halt-tuition-increases/
this source talks about a new budget giving more funding to grades k-12 and also higher education. it is saving those programs that were going to get cut but also seeing other programs and having to tighten there budget. the budget will have an assessment for schools to see which schools need what money. if there is an increase of the performance of the students, the school receives more funding. this way of funding as been proven to be effective for many years.

this source talks about where the budget cuts are hitting the hardest. the poor school districts are getting the biggest hit because they can not afford to lose any more money. they need all the money they could get to keep the schools running. unlike the more developed, wealthier schools that wouldn't see the impact as much because they are already established to deal with the cuts. the poor school districts were receiving federal aid then was cut off completely.

5. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/news/education/pennsylvania-survey-shows-huge-education-cuts-655780/
this source talks about the amount of positions that had to be cut because of tight budgeting. more than 900 million dollars was cut out of the school budgets. there was major cuts in the supplies that are needed for teachers to teach a course. many are scared that with the amount of things being cut that the the students will be affected. the students will start getting lower grades and not doing as well as they can because of the budget cuts. the standardized testing will have more lower grades if budget cuts are getting lower and lower.
