[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much could be saved if the admin and overhead non-classroom HQ staff were cut in half?[/quote] Look at the budget. By far the biggest expenses are teacher salaries and benefits. That's generally where the vast majority of budget increases go, too, although this proposed budget has large increases in special education staff and moderately large increases to elementary admin staff. There's a limit to what you can save from central admin positions. And as much as you wish it wasn't the case, a large bureaucracy governed by a variety of state, local, and federal laws is going to have a significant administrative burden. Removing positions at central would push more things down on school staff.[/quote]
