We are facing a one time shortfall of $100 million in my school system (we have a $2.5 billion budget). If you are looking for a good assignment on local government, the video above does a great job of explaining how we get our funding and here are the two lists of budget cuts for $50 and %75 million. We have elected school boards, but they do not have taxing authority and must get all funding from our Board of Supervisors.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)
