When you look at money going to a district you can bet a good sized portion is ate up in wasteful administrative jobs. Some jobs created for a family member, friend, donor, etc.

i worked in k12 for my first 10 years out of college. 6 of those were in Administration (Technology.) my district grew about 3-5k students in that time. in that growth we added about 40 new teachers and doubled our administration from 35 to 70ish.

when they decided to hire 3 new curriculum people, a social media team, and an energy saving facility manager (principal that had repeated state examination failures and somehow got a raise) that were the same salary as about 15-20 teachers, i saw where it was headed and bailed. I still work with k12 on the consulting side because i believe in education, but bloated administrations are in the running of why public ed sucks.
