It must be noted that I started documenting these education shutdowns at the beginning of 2014, in that year I posted the reports biannually (every six months). In 2015 education cutbacks ramped up and I posted quarterly (every three months). For the past ten months of 2016 there have been so many education cutbacks that I’ve posted a report every month!
Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS): A phrase created by me to describe a phenomenon taking place across the United States, affecting both privately and publicly funded schools, from Kindergarten all the way through University levels.
Incomplete list of publicly announced education related layoffs & school shutdowns, October 2016:
Idaho: The number of Gem State high school graduates who immediately go on to college dropped below the halfway mark, in 2014 and 2015. This is despite the Board of Education spending taxpayer money on several years of “Go-On” propaganda. Superintendent of Public Schools Sherri Ybarra lost her attempt to block the investigation into the falsifying of teacher performance records. Last month law makers created a $50-thousand USD fine for any district official caught falsifying such data. This is the result of an investigation by IdEdNews which revealed that school districts were deliberately lying about their teacher’s performance in order to justify pay raises! Cassia County Joint School District decided not to fight a ACLU lawsuit accusing it of discriminating against non-Mormon students. Details of the settlement were not disclosed but the taxpayer funded Mormon dominated school district claims it will make changes to its official policies of favoring Mormon students. What happened was a non-Mormon student wanted to run for student body president but was denied on the grounds of not having the required classes completed. But it turns out the only candidate, a Mormon, also did not meet the requirements to campaign for president yet was allowed to run! The Mormon dominated district was counting Mormon seminary as credit towards the class requirement.
Illinois: It was revealed that the University of Illinois killed more than 5-hundred jobs over the past 18 months, due to crashing taxpayer funding! Obama regime controlled Chicago Public Schools eliminating even more jobs, this time 250 people will become jobless due to crashing enrollment!
Louisiana: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Pius Child Development Center from shutting down sometime in 2017, claiming the church cannot afford to make needed repairs to the facility.
Massachusetts: God powerless to stop the last of ‘his’ Catholic high schools in Berkshire County from shutting down, Saint Joseph Central High will shutdown in June 2017.
Minnesota: University of Minnesota Duluth eliminating 38 jobs in order to save $2-million USD.
New York: Wayne Central School District warns that crashing enrollment will force them to shutdown two of their three elementary schools!
North Carolina: In Lumberton, god powerless to stop ‘his’ 39 years old Christian Book Store from shutting down right after Xmas. The owner basically said it was because they couldn’t find a ‘christian’ buyer willing to take over the business.
Texas: NATO member Turkey is accusing Houston based Harmony Public Schools, which operates hundreds of campuses across the U.S. (under different names), of not only employment discrimination against Turkish immigrants, but of supporting Islamic Extremism. However, the ‘christian’ dominated Texas Education Agency declared the accusations against Harmony to be “unfounded”. In San Antonio, Career Point College suddenly announced it is dead as a result of violating federal regulations.
Government shenanigans, October 2016: “BREAKING POINT” NEW STATE LAW ALLOWS POLITICIANS TO ‘STEAL’ DISASTER RELIEF MONEY!
