any couny Board of Education table of organization and you will find a county superintendent and numerous assistant superintendants, and a slew of "directors" and "head of" positions.

However, the biggest expense in any school system are labor costs...with a large portion going to the central office. Couple that with mandated class sizes...mo' money-mo' money.

I agree...every year my children came home with a list of "stuff" each teacher needed.
