[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My point is that it’s so quick and easy (and apparently in fashion) to blame all of the problems at the feet of “waste”. People are obsessed with the false idea that there’s just tons of jobs of lazy people collecting paychecks. I don’t know what that’s about but in 15 years of my educational career I’ve yet to actually come across a job that’s actually not necessary. Have I met people who suck at their jobs? Sure, but that’s a human condition, not an occupational one.

Our sped dept chair is invaluable. Cutting them would just mean more work for an already overworked team.[/quote]

Instructional coaches
Too many people in administration--if the principal was in the school most of the time, maybe we would not need so many AP's.

You’re saying that instructional coaches should be cut? Seriously? Who is going to help train up all those teachers with little to no experience? Again, you’re going after next to nothing. The instructional coaches salaries budget went from $62M to $33M for next year. That’s 1.5% of the budget down to 0.8% of the budget.

As for APs, the total budget for all MS and HS APs is 0.79% of the total budget. That’s less than one percent.
