Cheers For Students, Criticism For Teachers’ Union As Hannibal Meets On Its School Budget Deficit

A large crowd of students and taxpayers listens to a presentation  of Hannibal's school budget problems for the 2010-11 school year in this  photo illustration, assembled from three separate photos.

Hannibal taxpayers praised students and denounced the teachers’ union as the district explained again why it may have to cut jobs, sports and music; raise taxes by a large amount; or both.

Several dozen students sat directly in front of the Board of Education, taking up the first five rows of the auditorium.  They all wore white t-shirts that bore their new organization’s name: SOS, for “Save Our School”.
