SAGE News Clips: School Funding GapsDescription: Following the financial crisis of 2008, some public schools have been hard hit. In this video, we visit Little Fort Elementary School where teachers pay out of their own pockets for fans, kids play on concrete parking lots, and school books are worn and tattered. This is not so for the students at Adlai Stevenson High School, which resembles a small college campus. Students have access to over 100 clubs, 30 different sports teams, and 5 performance spaces. Stevenson spends $19,000 per student, whereas the school district that includes Little Fort only spends $12,600 per student.Click on the above link to access the Interactive eBook.
