WBHM.Org (Education Budget Cuts) cut funding for nonstate agencies, museums and other educational programs that were once funded by the budget. One organization, AIDS alabama, says alabama http://www.wbhm.org/News/2004/Education_Budget_Cuts.html
Extractions: NPR Commentaries Birmingham Lawmakers in the full Alabama House gave approval to a 4-and-a-half billion dollar Education Trust Fund budget. Money ($40 million) is in there for the Alabama Reading Initiative and for lawmakers' projects in their respective districts. However, lawmakers cut funding for non-state agencies, museums and other educational programs that were once funded by the budget. One organization, AIDS Alabama, says Alabama school kids are the ones who will suffer for the cuts. WBHM's Steve Chiotakis spoke with the CEO of AIDS Alabama, Kathie Hiers. Hiers says her organization saw the cuts coming. And she says every year there is a debate about whether the funds for AIDS Alabama, about $250,000 would be cut. But she says her HIV/AIDS education initiative in schools all across the state is mandated by the state school superintendent and AIDS Alabama is the logical and economical choice in administering it, given the infection rate among young people. "We have almost two new infections in Alabama every single day. And about half of the new infections are young people," she says. "I shudder to think what the infection rates are going to go to if we don't provide this education in the public schools."
