Topic 1 - Economic Factors in School

   Today was the first meeting of Group 3.  We discussed the ecomomic factors that affect schooling beginning the cost of education.  We talked about maintenance of the building, textbooks and other resources, supplies, programs, transportation to and from school, etc.  Then we researched where the funding for these things comes from - the federal, state and local governments.  Our group did a great job collaborating, and now that the group is just Brian and myself, we felt like we got a lot accomplished in our time meeting together.  We still have yet to decide on our group name and motto.  That's the next thing on our list.
