Where did all the MONEY go?

Pardon my grumpyness but after reading this article We need more $$$ about the Mona Shores School system "budget crisis" I feel like I live in Never Never Land. Get this quote from the superintendent, "The last 10 years have been a real interesting time in education, and the financial issues must be fixed at the state level. Districts are struggling for capital dollars," said Babbitt. "Parents with children in school really need to pay attention to what is going on" at the state level. " Of course he means that the state funnel more moola into the schools. No problem with that except where does the state get its moola? Oh, what are you anti education? Anti child?
Whatever.
Most of any school's budget is spent on labor. Mostly teachers/administrators salary and benefits. Maybe we could just take a peek at what the real total compensation package is for those fine folks. What are you? Anti learning?!!
Try this cool link to see what MS Schools want us to see about that.Mona-Shores Schools
