#89 States of Shock: the Coming Budget Calamity


Listen Later

A looming budget calamity worse than the Great Recession could mean mass teacher layoffs and deep cuts to school spending. Have You Heard previews the bleak budget forecast, how it can be averted, and why the GOP seems intent on forcing states to go broke. Experts Bruce Baker, Sarah Reckhow and Jesse Rothstein weigh in. And in a sign of what’s to come, we meet a teacher whose alternative school is going online and for-profit next year.
