The central office cuts are very, very minimal when you look at the salary rates and number of central office staff. A move to the central office is a promotion path for principals that were making up to 140K in their home schools. The high salaries also carry a large fringe/benefit allocation. There are many departments in central office with sub department stacked through out the the organization.

Teacher's aides, special ed staff, ESL teachers, reading and math staff and other positions that in the classroom helping the teachers and students are paid at the very bottom of the scale, part time and reduced benefits. Imagine how many kids you could actually help by cutting one expensive crony and keeping the people who actually teach. [/quote]

It wouldn't matter.  The school system is crumbling.  People are looking at "greener pastures," which don't exist in the system any longer.  There is no autonomy.  Principals are spineless and don't support staff.

Don't think that cutting a few positions here and there in central will open up a pot of gold to fund paras, for example - at least not ones who will stay.
