[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2894828, member: 5151"] You can take a hybrid consolidation approach and still mostly reach the same goal of rebalancing student, teacher, support, and administrative spending to be more inline with national averages (support is currently way out of whack - much more so than administration). Keep the current districts with their school boards and superintendents, but create shared support districts that use CareerTech district boundaries as their guide. All schools within that shared support district will share support departments such as IT, accounting, administrative assistance, etc. I did the math on a Facebook comment thread a year and a half ago, but I've been having trouble locating it. The short version is that by simply rebalancing current spending allocations to be similar to national averages, Oklahoma could raise starting teacher salaries to ~$50K/yr (matching the national average of $56K when normalized to cost of living) and still have over $800 in funding per student left. Yeah, there would be a lot of support jobs lost. So what? If a position isn't necessary, it shouldn't be filled. [/QUOTE]
