Please.. (1.00 / 1)

Maybe it's time for the school districts to start spending the money on education instead of wasting it on the pet projects of the administrators.  

What is it about Democrats that they don't seem to understand that the only way out of debt is to cut the spending until the debt is paid off?  

Seems like Grandma was right back in 2006. And the Democrats signed the hot check along with the Republicans.

Faulty Numbers (0.00 / 0)

Only if you lump service employees that work in a school district does the ratio look overly tilted towards administration. If you talk about actual administrators:teachers, the ratio is close to 1:25, if not low.  I don't mind talking about ways to scale back and ways to streamline, but we should use facts and not TRRCI fiction to have that debate.

The other solution, fix the margins tax so it brings in more than half of the projected revenue. That would help close the structural gap. Also, we should really accept our federal tax funds that Texans are paying into but not receiving because of Perry's personal political agenda.

Any other ideas? Let's put it all out there.

The way out of debt (0.00 / 0)

Well the REAL way out of debt is spend less than you take in.

Achieved by either bringing in more money or cutting what you spend money on.
