Too Many Admins, Not Enough Teachers

What's the Story

California's high school graduation rate is only 71.2%. California has the 4th highest student-teacher ratio (20:1) in the nation and a very low teacher-admin ratio (4:1). California needs smaller classes. Why are there so many administrators and not more teachers?

What's At Stake

Quality Education
While we need administrators to help organize the educational system, spending more on administrators means spending less on instruction for students.
