Maybe if the DISD didn't waste money on beuraucrats, trustee, board member salaries, and useless social programs, they could pay a higher salary, draw better teachers to the area, and rise to a level of competence that wasn't the shame of the state.

This is the school district that, about 10-15 years ago, was ging to have to lay off nearly 300 teachers due to budget problems. Turned out - they had about the same number of people in administration that Houston had - whick was 3 times larger. When that became public, some admins were released and the teachers stayed.

HISD has too many admins, too.

"Maybe if the DISD didn't waste money on beuraucrats, trustee, board member salaries...??"

Just FYI -- In Texas, school board trustees are entirely volunteer and thus are not paid a salary.
