Brownsville Protects Chess Legacy at Its Schools - NYTimes.com: Budget cuts may have taken more than $30 million out of the Brownsville Independent School District’s budget for the next two years, but administrators say they are working to preserve financing for one key pot of money: the chess budget. This academic year, it totals $400,000.

And I can't even find 2 other teachers in MEMPHIS who are willing to start a chess organization!
