The Budget won't Budge

All the faculty of my school got this email yesterday:

"Due to budgetary limitations, all per session activities with the exception of PSAL (meaning sports) and tutoring must cease immediately. Thank you for your cooperation."

Ouch. That means no more after-school activities for the rest of the school year. Actually, that means we won't get paid, but will these activities cease? Some will... but most will probably not. That's what teachers are all about, usually.
There are just insanely dedicated people and they wouldn't let something as petty as money stop activities right as the year is about to end.

The thing that sucks is I know some people whose activities that are dormant during the year but begin to heat up right about now... they are screwed.

As dad says..."That's New York City for ya..."

All clubs except sports are closed. It sucks... we have to either do it for free or not at all... most teachers are going to "donate" their time.
