The Guilford County Board of Education will meet later this week to decide what to do with $14 million in federal stimulus funding.

Superintendent Mo Green prefers spending most or all of the money next year when the schools will face an even harder budget crunch,” while board member Garth Hebert warns “the district may have to cut as many as 1,400 employees if the district uses the allocation this year and the federal government does not provide more stimulus funds during the next two years.”

I’ll believe the school system laying off that many employees when I see it.
