States are depleting their education stimulus funds

Today, the National Journal reviews “What’s Left of the Education Stimulus” for our states.

National Journal reporter Julia Edwards notes that, “many of the states with the toughest budgets to balance this fiscal year have already depleted most of that federal lifeline, making cutbacks in education spending all the more painful.
