  • Schools Aided by Stimulus Money Still Facing Cuts
    Children are returning to classrooms across the nation during one of the most tumultuous periods in American education, in which many thousands of teachers and other school workers — no one yet knows how many — were laid off in dozens of states because of plummeting state and local revenue. Many were hired back, thanks in part to $100 billion in federal stimulus money.
  • Schools Nationwide Plan to Offer H1N1 Vaccination Clinics
    Hundreds of schools nationwide are establishing clinics to administer vaccines against the H1N1 virus, representing what could be the most widespread school vaccination effort "since the days of polio," the Associated Press reports. According to the AP, nearly 3 million students attend schools in districts where officials intend to offer the H1N1 vaccine when federal health officials begin distributing it in mid-October, and many more school districts are likely to follow suit.
