From 1992 -2009 , in Virginia student population in public schools increased 21.6%. The increase in Administration and other non-teaching staff increased 100%. During that exact same time frame administrative staffing in any private sector business decreased drastically, as a result of constant strides in technology, technology I might add that is available for even public schools.
Also noted in the Heritage Report …
” if the ratio of students to non-teaching personnel had remained constant between FY 1992 & FY 2009, and if the growth in the teacher force had been only 1.5 times as large as the increase among students , there would be $37.2 Billion in annual recurring savings in the public school system. That $37.2 Billion could be used to give every public school teacher a raise of more than $11,700 per year, or taxpayer funds could be used for some other needed purpose.
Specific to King William County visit the website and look closely at student population in King William over the last 5-6 years. In 2009-10 the total was 2191, in 2013-14 it was 2193 ? It is hardly a surge in student population driving these annual demands for more money.
