YET WE WONDER WHY CHINA SURPASSES THE US IN EDUCATION BY MILES!!!! SMDH!!!
Pension liability. In private business they fire and hire depending on needs. The school system should be no different.
@6:39 its hard to take her seriously with that shirt and hair. what was she thinking?
do we have any good news lately? i'll take another famous zoo animal jesus
Wow. Am class of 2006. Nothing had change Nothing. Broken than still broken now.
"Why must we do this year after year…?"
What? Resize the number of staff to appropriate levels for your enrollment? Simple. Because you elected woke idiots to run your state! Those woke, high tax loving, DEI idiots drove the population as a whole and the students in particular OUT of your weird, freaky GROOMER state where you let men play against girls in sports! And EVERY year that this happens, you should be making cuts to your staff! Every other school district gets the same amount of money per pupil and their budgets look just fine! Why should YOU get more money for being BAD AT MATH?!? Maybe you should spend LESS money buying p0rn for elementary schools??
in Texas, Texas AM university, the college football coach makes more money than the city mayor, the president of the university, the man who actually runs the university, john sharpe, and the mayors of all the cities around us added up. no doubt the same process is used to determine the teachers salaries in public schools.
The teachers union pays teachers twice as much as any european teachers, and teachers in america are worse than every country in western europe. Its time to get rid of the teachers union.
Everything related to the government is garbage, and corrupt. If you send your kids to a government school that is now complaining about a fiscal cliff, then tell the school to stop being so shtty and pushing Trans shtt on kids.
Shocking this is mainly happening in California. There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary government program.
Way to overlook in your reporting how charter schools take funding away from public schools yet don't have to comply with federal laws requiring schools to provide support services for kids with special needs and disabilities.
This has allowed charter schools to take public funds away from public schools while filtering out kids from their schoosl who would be more expensive to support leaving the entire expense and burden on the public schools
Watch the "teacher colleges" start to close too
People are having fewer kids
Keep sending money to Jewland you rotten goys 👍
To many Chiefs, not enough Indians.
My friend, a hands on paraeducator, had to take a pay cut so that administrators could have a fat bonus
This isn’t just a problem for the public education system. The college system is need of job removals to fund actual teachers/ professor!
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in US.
Is the US so wealthy that it can't afford to take care of it's people ?
What to do ?. .. and how to do it ??

Schools are as understaffed as they've ever been with actual teachers, paraprofessionals, aids, bus drivers, and other on -the-ground, student-facing staff. Administration is bloated and has no background in child development at all and makes decisions based on optics instead of long term, child-centered, educational goals. What could possibly be the matter, here?
Enrollment is declining. Time to let staff go!!
I thought we had a teacher shortage?
Do adults just like… forget about childhood altogether? Every lawmaker, administrator, even teacher, went through school in their childhood. It makes no sense why it seems like they have no idea what's going on.
Don't know anything about this but I'm seeing a trend in the comments here. Administration people are apparently over-paid in relation to the others and there are too many of them. Sounds strangely like corporate America in many ways.
Wait…. CA districts mismanaged their funds? So unheard of 😑
Too much staff, but a shortage of teachers. Does excess staff include teachers? If not, what do they do? In recent years, many administrative positions were added that may have been justified by increasing enrollments, but now, because enrollments are declining, they are not needed, but once an organization has become accustomed to diluting responsibilities, it is hard to change. The same situation exists in higher education where much of the teaching has been relegated to part-time adjunct faculty who are paid about half of what full time faculty are paid to teach even though they are required to have the same qualifications, and who have few or no benefits. The savings have gone to increasing administrative staff with diluted responsibilities.
I'm numb and not concerned about this. I even used to work for a school district, from 2000 to 2004. I'll never do it again.
Fire some bloat. There's plenty, even in the "poor downtrodden inner city" schools.
To truly fix schools though, it's time to get back to classical Trivium/Quadrivium based education. To hell with technology. Most of the kids are more capable tech users than the teachers, and that divide widens from elementary school to high school – especially for the kids that will actually work with tech in some meaningful way.
I distain public schools.
It's very wild that most of the people talking in this are doing everything except discussing the actual cost and like one individual stated that there was temporary funding that then expired and The school did not remove that expenditure or cancel it.
So fire people and balance the damn budget! What is so difficult about that? Why did any community ever depend on that stupid pandemic money!
Everyone who can is going private. These people don’t want to face the fact their service is garbage.
Just make the budgets transparent and let people vote on what policies they want to implement:
1. Fire staff
2. Increase property taxes
