Study: K-12 Admin. Employment Outpaces Student Growth

The Friedman Foundation for Economic Choice recently released a study that showed the amount of administrators (non-teachers) in the K-12 public education system has increased over 700 percent since 1950, while the amount of students has increased by only 96 percent.

The number of full time employees in the public system has increased 386 percent since 1950. Of these full time employees, the number of teachers has increased 252 percent, while the number of administrators increased 700 percent--more than seven times the increase in the amount of students.

Sounds like it's time to cut some fat.
