'Formula' grant cuts would hit V.I. education programs hard

From the Daily News:

President Bush's proposed cuts to federal education would hit the Virgin Islands significantly harder than the nation as a whole because his plan mostly cuts "formula" grants, which form the bulk of the territory's allocation, a federal official said last week.

This is terrible news. The territory needs all the help - and money - it can get in the education department.
