Here is a SAHM who takes careful budgeting to new heights. It must, of course, be noted that since her DH is military, the family is probably covered in terms of health insurance.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-a-family-of-four-manages-to-live-well-on-just--14-000-per-year-174803218.html
"Wagasky, 28, lives with her her husband, Jason, 31, and their two young children in a three-bedroom family home in Las Vegas, Nevada. While Jason, a member of the U.S. Army, completes his undergraduate studies, the family's only source of income is the $14,000 annual cost of living allowance he receives under the G.I. Bill. Despite all odds, the family has barely any credit card debt, no car payment, and no mortgage to speak of."
[...]
"By the time Wagasky's husband came home from Iraq, they had managed to scrape together the $30,000 they needed for a downpayment on a home.
"But we decided the best option would be not to have a mortgage payment at all," she said. "We found a fixer-upper that didn't have a kitchen ... and we paid cash." "

I think she was speaking of sports outside of school Savcal.
Our school district is on facebook and twitter but main communication from parents to teachers is either phone calls or emails.
Yes, Regina! It's a great PR tool...not so much for professional communication though. :)
Our district uses it along w/Twitter as a PR device/tool. But it certainly isn't the primary or preferred method of communication w/parents. Our school's PTO has a page, but again, it is a tool in the arsenal, not the primary means of communication.

I forgot to mention that little thing called the "Missouri Compromise" in 1820 which likely initially earned my state its Southern status. But yeah--I consider myself a Southerner far more than a Midwesterner.
