With a homeroom size of (approximately, for estimation) 20 students .... That translates to $260,000 / year, per classroom.
With pay, benefits, etc etc etc, the teacher might account for $100,000 of that number. Where is the rest of the money going? Schools don't need to worry about taxes. Upkeep is always an issue, but 150-ish grand PER CLASSROOM buys an awful lot of upkeep.
I'd take a wild guess that expenses are going to administration. And, poor oversight of the budgets - after all, it's not their money being spent.
“Schools don’t need to worry about taxes.”
I never even considered that!

Are you sitting down?
The school system some of my grandkids attend has an “Integration and Inclusion Facilitator”,full time.
What on earth is that?????
