Archived news articles show school district pattern

I've added some media links, on the blog's side panel, to archived newspaper articles, which show that the Bellingham School District routinely uses money from its rainy day fund to shore up holes in its budget ... if they can do this during good economic times, why are they refusing to use any of their rainy day funds during our economic crisis?

They would not be bankrupting the district if they kept their schools open. Their fund would still be in the mid-range of what the district requires of itself .... 3 percent to 5 percent of its total $100 million budget.

(it's through the Bellingham Public Library web site, so if you have a library card, you can search the archives yourself!)
