Nope Plus this year I won a three year academic grant to study (paid) at a premier science facility. So I can't say I've seen much damage personally. There have been some teachers laid off at my school- but the principal took the opportunity to weed out some of the worst teachers, so I have to say, I'm pleased. Our district suffered badly about 5 years ago, and was restructured then- and we actually had a budget surplus going in to this year. It's still going to be tight- and at the moment we have no more access to materials (we must supply our own paper for copies, for example)- but all in all, nothing has been canceled or cut. Summer school is still happening. Classes are still being offered as planned.
