Lois Capps: “If I could just respond in saying that when we are doing this in Congress, when we fund to 14 percent, we are not saving…”

On the recordMarch 8, 2001
If I could just respond in saying that when we are doing this in Congress, when we fund to 14 percent, we are not saving money by doing that. These are obligations and responsibilities that local school districts have. They bear the bottom line. It is the children in the local communities who have the right and come up to the school door and say, or the family say, here is my child, these are the needs, now you provide the resources. We ask them to do that, sometimes in very difficult circumstances. When we do not meet our needs, it just foists that responsibility on overburdened districts that have many other obligations to make as well.
