Comments about ‘State Board of Education is considering more budget cuts’

How about administrative cuts on the district level...huge salaries,to many and very little productivity.

A good old boys network big time (on all levels).

How little you understand Jo Jo. Public education is the leanest of all enterprises when it comes to number of supervisors. Schools are flat organizations with principals supervising as many as 60 people. No business would ever give that kind of load to a supervisor. Go to the corporate office of a grocery chain or a major hospital and you will find more high salaried leaders than you can imagine. School administration takes up less than 10% of the total budget of schools, often hovering between 4% and 7%. Businesses of the same size sit in the double digits all of the time.

HOW ABOUT CUTTING THE PRESCHOOL SOFTWARE 7 MILLION BILL THAT STEPHENSON PUSHED AND GOT PASSED IN THE LAST SESSION IN THE OMNIBUS BILL AND USE THAT MONEY FOR THE PERFORMANCE PAY-WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY IS THAT SOFTWARE FOR HOME USE TO HELP AT RISK PRESCHOOLERS-GET REAL!

Get rid of the double dippers in administration. Superintendents that retire and then get rehired. I would love to be getting 160% percent of my income. I also know of people at district offices double dipping with other jobs. Tell me how they can be working for two different groups during the same working hours.
