Wkgn Schools slash millions of dollars and 70 positions

[synergy]

If the facts I have read and included here are correct regarding recent hires, a more cost-saving, student-centered alternative might have been to cut (more of) the ~100 positions newly created at Lincoln Center over the past five years. At approximately $80,000 salary per year (likely a conservative estimate), these positions likely cost $8,000,000 PER YEAR, plus benefits. Over the past 5 years, this would have amounted to $40 million ($8,000,000 x 5 yrs), plus benefits. I believe our students will be better served with more educational staff teaching smaller numbers of students in classrooms (or even closets).
