I live in this area, and it’s a joke !!! We call it the “Two Week Rule “. Our kid never goes to school for more than two weeks without a holiday or Late Start day. I also studied education with full knowledge of the salary (never taught, though ).
The state is heavy on Administrators in the 500+ school districts. Many super small ruler areas could at least consolidate administrators. The Superintendent of the failing Tulsa Public Schools has new 3 - year contract of over $800,000 with additional $1500/month for cell phone and car.
Maybe these liberal, global-warming types should consider online classes ( eliminates the elaborate buildings and overhead ). Have one child in college who will graduate after 3 years and said - could have done it MORE QUICKLY online, but stifled by the way classes are only offered certain semesters, and all the gen-ed that won’t affect major studies.

And there's your real problem. School districts are very fat at the top and supers are WAY over paid for what they do.
