Two-thirds said...
The economy has made some type of negative impact on their program.
Other half said...
The county handles everything without local school input.
When asked about economic impact...
The "loss of media clerks" or hosting "more fundraisers" and "cutting down on book funding" has certainly drained the energy in a program. Only one out of the six interviewed said he received generous funding without having to worry about a budget. The other five interviewed said they were responsible for purchasing supplies that are used outside the media center with no direct benefit to the media center.
