Sequestration Complicates Education Budgets

On "Tell Me More," NPR (4/16, Martin) reported, "The dueling forces of sequestration and the president's new budget have created a confusing picture in education funding." NPR (Sanchez) added, "The sequestration has made a mess of what's already a complicated process," and "school systems that receive impact aid also are getting really hit hard in the short term by sequestration." Sanchez continued that "public education, educators, classroom teachers, staff, faculty - I mean, these are folks - and including higher ed, by the way - are under enormous stress."
