49th in education spending out of 50.
51% of money allocated to education goes to schools, classrooms, and educators. Rest is overhead, administration, testing, etc.
Exactly that. It would be interesting to know what the national average is on how much goes toward overhead. I searched, but could not locate it.
Yea I heard it and can’t quite find it overall with where we rank, but I don’t think it’s quite the worst. Some states pension promises are currently eating them alive. I still would vote for a parity of 1:1 for teachers median.. even base pay to pension retirement payouts. Some states have this redic thing where you can get multiple pensions for each job you worked ! ( you get a pension for being the High School coach, a high school teacher and retire a administrator x3 pensions and rake it in ) The pension payments is going to come up quite often from this point on the national level.
More teachers should be following suite in other states, let’s push up the pay level.
