Oregon

The Cuts: In Oregon, the state government decided to cut the state's education budget by $2 billion in order to balance the overall state budget decrease for the year.

The Effects: In addition to the cuts to K-12 programs the state will suffer nationwide, the decrease in funds for pre-school programs for one community will leave 64 low-income families without the support and childcare they need. According to KDRV.com a local ABC news station, these Jackson County families will no longer receive education, health, and nutrition services.
