Photo by Craig Weymouth Budget cuts affect students With a new budget and more ldget cuts in sight, students learned take the bad with the good, hether the cuts came from the hool district or directly from the esident, students were plagued with rer-increasing problems. As a result of DISD curriculum tanges, students faced a shortage of merican Histon,' books when the urse was changed from a junior to a ashman course. This meant for two ;ars, twice as many students would j enrolled in American History asses. Books weren’t available until e second six weeks. Civics classes Duld be plagued with the same pro- em starting the 1982-83 school year sophomores, juniors and seniors auld take the course. The shortage of books wasn’t the ly problem caused by the budget t. Administrators were forced to lay f or transfer teachers, clerks and stodians. Although the shortage of janitors isn't noticeable to stuaents, other custodians felt the loss. Fewrer workers didn’t mean less work. On the second and third floors, eight janitors had to do the work of 14. They saw longer hours with the same pay. Like more janitors, more pay was out of the question. If the shortage of books and janitors wasn’t enough, students, mainly seniors, were affected greatly by budget cut measures from President Reagan. Previously, not many college- bound students worried about student loans since they were fairly easy to get. However, the new federal budget changed that. To help pay their way through col- lege, many students depended on money from the government, money students weren’t so sure they’d get. Because of this major budget cut, students were not only concerned about whether they would attend col- lege, but where they would get the money. Opening 5
