Everything is based on that money wise. There are other areas the school can cut in. MGIS is fortunate to have 2 fantastic specialists.

I'm sure MGIS has an abundant budget, especially compared to my school. We have gym, art, music and library and will continue to have them next year, too. <BR/><BR/>That sucks! :(Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158453162505657046noreply@blogger.com
