President Obama wants to spend five billion dollars to fix America's schools. But school districts will have to compete for the money. Later today, Mr. Obama would be laying out a plan on how that's going to work. The money is to be used to tighten7 academic standards and find better ways to recruit and keep good educators.
Lawmakers are voting on a complex deal to rescue one of the world's largest economies. State lawmakers pulled an all-nighter to try to eliminate a projected 26-billion-dollar budget gap in the State of California. The proposed deal would slash8 money for health care, education, welfare and prisons. Also it would raise city and county governments for 2 billion dollars.
