According to a Buffalo News report the "Buffalo city schools got more stimulus money than any other local entity — $51.7 million — and it prevented hundreds of layoffs, said Barbara Smith, the district’s chief financial officer. But that federal cash — offered to patch the huge holes the recession blew in state education budgets — is gone now. And the School Board last week agreed to a budget for the coming school year that cuts 355 jobs, including 145 teachers — although 41 of those teachers should see their jobs saved through grant funding."
