Article Source: Army TimesIf massive Defense Department cuts go through next year, little-noticed potential victims on the chopping block include the schools on military bases in the U.S. and abroad.
The cuts could close some of those schools, cut employees and possibly increase the size of classes in those schools that remain open, according to an analysis of the cuts prepared in September by the Republican staff on the House Armed Services Committee. The analysis did not name any specific schools.
In addition, the Defense Department would no longer pay school districts for the impact of large numbers of students from military families attending local schools, according to the report.
So not only are the politicians going to screw my family and the thousands of Service memebers who live on base they are not going to pay the local school districts for the impact of an additional few THOUSAND students? Something is very wrong here.
If Congress and the White House fail to stop the automatic cuts, the schools would be among numerous programs where reductions would be required, according to the House armed services panel’s GOP staff analysis.
With the track record of congress there are people going to, yet again, get screwed while they feel absolutely no impact.
These domestic schools exist despite the fact that nearly all military members live off base and send their children to local schools.
If nearly all military members live off base then explain why the waiting lists for housing on base range from 6 to 18 months?
Once again the the 1% of the population who already sacrifice the most have to suffer again. I want to know when the politicians are going to sacrifice 1/100 of what Military Memers sacrifice.
