Cut administrators, make them teach

I just voted no on the school levy for the extremely simple reason that they do not need the money.

It is a simple deduction, folks, when you have a payroll of millions of dollars going to upper-level-degreed administrators, who do not teach, and no one can find out what they do all day, then the first place an intelligent system would look to “trim the fat” would be to get rid of the unnecessary payroll expense.

With 295 school districts we have 295 buildings that house people supposedly in the education business but they do not teach. What do they do all day? Those buildings cost millions a year to maintain, housing folks who do not teach. Everett spent $28.3 million on a palace for that purpose, aka waste.

I have said it before: Transfer the special needs students into classrooms that are taught by these master and higher degree holders. The regular teachers will love this because it will remove the biggest hassle they have in their classrooms.

It was not a good idea to mainstream special needs kids and should have been abandoned years ago.

Until the actual daily work activities of these several thousand “educators” are reassigned, and the payroll they are currently taken is reduced to their new work load, we will have sufficient funds to operate the schools at a very high level, and we will not need any additional taxes for schools. Have you wondered why and how the charter schools do so much with so much less?
