Arizona Averages $14,600 per student in spending. Average class size is 23.5. Back of the napkin calculation is $340,000 per class. if 90% of expenses are 'dedicated to paying staff' that's $308,000 per class for teachers and administrative staff.
Average class size in the high school I taught in was 8 one year. A parent couldn't understand why there were 33 kids in his daughter's class. Average class size is calculated by number of students divided by number of people on teacher's contracts. Two social workers, four counselors, school nurse, librarian, athletic director, special ed transition coordinator, job coach, vo-tech coordinator, some other program for at risk kids coordinator, behavior specialist (football coach), school psych who did testing not counseling, OT and PT are all on teacher contracts but have no classes. I'm sure there were a few more I've forgotten. There were also several special ed teachers who had a couple of classes of three kids, who spent the rest of their time checking up on kids who were in normal classes.
What a joke of a state Superintendent of School. Blame it on the academics. If the funding for resources are not there, such as interventions, specialists, etc, the quality will go down. It's a shame that public schools don't get support and instead want a program with no accountability. They just want to give away taxpayer money on vacations and ATVs.
Start actually teaching the kids. Kids in public school can't even add 2+2. Went to a fast food joint and the kid working the counter had a hard time counting out the proper change to give me.
Our MPS school with 1200 students is going from 7 part time teacher aides, to 3. And only 1 counselor. Completely ridiculous. Teachers will go down to 20 minute lunch breaks next year so they can pull lunch AND bus duty. Front office staff are making $17/hr. This is what AZ voted for.
@ I will disagree with you, it is far more than 2% and many many of those kids would not even bother staying in school and staying out of trouble if it were not for sports. Sports has been part of schools for 100 years and the cost of one unnecessary Administrator would pay for just about all sports combined.
I can't wait for administrators to be replaced with AI. Administrators often contribute little to no value to organizations and AI can often make better decisions.
90% of money for education gets eaten up by administrators
🎯
Such a pack of lies. We all know there are 4 or 5 "Administrative Staff" for each teacher.
0:25 she doesn't look that sad !! But what about if her job gets cut ?? Then she will get sad

Those schools are dumps. Nobody would go there.
How many ADMINISTRATORS are getting the boot ?
None remember they make the contracts there so woke just remember who they voted for a Democratic mayor and she cheated
That would be ZERO!
With 1800 fewer kids will they be spending $26 ,000,000 less next year or actually spending more money.
What's wrong with this? Fewer students, fewer employees needed. Reduced funding for the budget. Many other school districts need these employees.
What happened to Red for Ed remember those protests
Went by the wayside when the teachers got their raises
LOL

Bet no coaches will be fired

Do you mind sharing what school?
All schools have at least a twice as many Administrators as they need.
And three times as many coaches...
@ coaches? Sports coaches?
@@Kurteous100 Yes...schools are for education...not taking 2% of students out of class and bus them to chase a ball at taxpayer expense

There is always a better job!
Thanks to Ukraine.
LOL
Mesa schools sucks Mesa is like LA

Nobody with kids can afford to live in the valley.
Maybe they need less administrators and coaches??
