The weak economy is not the only cause.Another reason has to do with increased prices for food and fuel.They mean higher costs for school meals and bus transportation.

Two major sources of money for public schools are property taxes and sales taxes.A slowdown in consumer spending,the engine of the economy,means fewer goods to tax.And the collapse of the housing market means less money to collect in property taxes.

Around the country,the economic slowdown has added to the numbers of children receiving free or reduced price lunches at school.In other words,many of the same economic problems that have hit school budgets have also hit family budgets.
在全国,经济减缓增加了领取免费午餐或减价午餐的孩子的数目.换言之,许多相同的经济问题在冲击学校预算的同时也冲击家庭预算.
Each year,the education group Phi Delta Kappa and the Gallup organization gather opinions about American public schools.This year's poll found support for increased use of federal taxes to finance public schools and to help young people attend college.
每年,教育组织费黛奥塔·卡朋(Phi Delta Kappa)联合会和美国盖洛普咨询有限公司(the Gallup organization)征集公众对美国公立学校的意见.今年的民意测验显示,公众支持用更多的联邦税收来扶持公立学校而帮助青少年进入大学深造.
