MCPS held the annual meeting on federal funding on March 6, 2008. If you were unable to attend and have not received a mailing from the county, you might give them a call.
PGC held an all title meeting earlier this month. They have declared Title V to be dead. No more money for books/videos/dvds etc.....very sad...
This is really a sad state with catholic schools closing, librarian positions being cut, and now funding for low income...not surprising though,given the government and economy on the whole.
