money for schools
About $195 million in stimulus money was released Wednesday for Arizona K-12 schools where at least 40 percent of students qualify for free and reduced lunches. Here are those getting the largest amounts:• Tucson Unified: $20.9 million.• Mesa Unified: $20.2 million.
• Phoenix Union High School: $11.6 million.
• Phoenix Elementary: $7.4 million.
• Washington Elementary: $6.8 million.
• Sunnyside Unified: $6.2 million.
• Cartwright Elementary: $6.0 million.
• Paradise Valley Unified: $5.3 million.
• Roosevelt Elementary: $5.2 million.
• Alhambra Elementary: $4.9 million
If the State of Arizona is receiving this money, why the lay offs.
Recognition
Being a Coast Guard veteran of WW11 I took exception that the City of Surprise did not recognize them, in the military week in the Surprise Stadium. They are an active force in our protection for freedom.
The Branch Military Recognition Days are as follows:Sunday, March 29 American Legion representing Veteran Service Organizations
Monday, March 30 US Navy
Tuesday, March 31 US Air Force
Wednesday, April 1 US Marine Corps
Thursday, April 2 US Army
Waste of money
SURPRISE, AZ (March 20, 2009) The City of Surprise was awarded $2.1 million from the federal government’s National Stabilization Program and will use the money to purchase at least 12 foreclosed properties in the city.
“This is welcome news,” says Community Development Director Jeff Mihelich. “We will be able to purchase the homes, repair or demolish them, and rebuild quality homes for deserving homeowners.
This money in my estimation, could have been better spent on more properties and doing more for the community, then the 12 @ $175,000 each. Which will probably be in the original square mile or in the boon-docks.
