Douglas Country schools start

Douglas Country schools start - Douglas County school superintendents blame a poor economy for declining enrollment, which translates into less state funding. They are planning for more spending reductions while hoping state legislators won't make matters worse by cutting education funding.

“I'm an optimist,” Glide School District Superintendent Don Schrader said. “I think the state will come up with the money and fund our schools, but we do need to be prepared if they don't.”
