Issue-Politics-Education Funding- Years ago the public approved referendums in states for establishing lotteries with the proviso that a percentage of the funds would be used for education programs.This did not happen. The funds to the best of my knowledge were deposited into general fund accounts which could be used at the discretion of the legislative body. In most cases the funds did not go to education programs.
Given the state of resources needed for education programs it is time to revisit the policies for education funding. More information can be found in my two books. “Nobody rises to Low Expectations” and “Education is Every Body’s Business” via Xlibris.com and Amazon.com
