If people still don't think this economy is bad, they need to wake up. Now, even schools are trying to save every dollar. I think they can cut down on some other things, like giving the superintendent an SUV and various other things.

Schools waste about 90% of the day anyway so this is what I'd call a good start. I remember in elementary school (90s) they wouldn't turn the air on until you were sweating in class and wouldn't turn the heat on until after xmas to save money.

Lucky little Buggers the whole lot of em. I could only dream of this as a kid.
