Florida Education Cuts: Three Perspectives
School districts around the country are anxious to see whether or not Congress will send part of the economic stimulus their way.

One cash-strapped system — the Orange County Public School District in central Florida — is anticipating a $102 million budget cut next year.
Superintendent Ronald Blocker, Camelot Elementary School science teacher Richard Ellenburg and Orange County PTA president Stacey Rodrigues talk to host Jacki Lyden about the cuts and the stimulus package.
