This program is a very good program. Two of my children attended it last year. However, this program should be self-sufficient. This program takes the place of daycare and summer camps for many children but it should not be at a cost to the general taxpayer. All of these expenses are not out of the control of the district.
Staff is the largest cost of the budget.
Not only do you have to pay the person's salary but also, you have all the payroll costs such as payroll taxes and workers' compensation and disability insurances and employee health insurance premiums. The school does not need such a big administration staff. The school is top heavy. Many of the above positions are needed, however the administrations growth exceeds that of student growth. The growth of school staff and administrators is disproportionate to the growth of student population.
