Carvalho wants help for Miami-Dade Schools

With the state facing a potential $1.4 billion tax shortfall, Miami-Dade Schools chief Alberto Carvalho called on the federal government to consider a bailout for the nation's public schools.

He said the state tax shortfall could mean an additional $65 million reduction in spending for the Miami-Dade school system which isthe nation's fourth largest.

The school district has cut a huge amount out of its budget already and plans to cut more.

This is not a good situation whatsoever. If we want to continue to educate children properly we are going to have to do something about this.

Carvalho is right about this Miami-Dade needs help and so do so many others.

Lets act on this now and help children get the education they are entitled to.

I personally think the U.S. education system is disastrous as it is, so I'd be hesitant to give more precious tax money to people who might just waste it.
