If they cut overpaid administrators, they wouldn't need to cut as many jobs.  But then, the administrators are the ones making decisions so that's not going to happen.

The largest cost driver to education is not the salaries of employees, but the health care costs.
When my husband worked for the school district, a full half of his salary went into a health care fund.
Who is managing that and where is all of that money going?  I always felt is was a bit insulting that some health insurance fund got the same pay as my husband for doing absolutely nothing and people go on complaining about the salaries of teachers?

Is there a teacher in the comment section that can post their pay stub information for all the people here that think teachers are making $100,000 per year?

If the state really wanted to save money on education, as well as other state employees...they would set up a state system of not for profit health care.
