This is why our schools cost so much. They spend the money on frivolous positions other than teachers.
TPS hasn't spent a dollar of the $7.6 million in teacher rehire money it received from the Aug. 10 bill, opting instead to save it for next school year to rehire or retain a myriad school employees - probably not teachers.
He said the district might use the money to hire its own crossing guards, instead of using an outside company, and to hire more bus drivers to restore service to where it was before last year's budget cuts.
I went through 2 decades of schooling without ever riding a school bus or even seeing a crossing guard.
IMO, a school needs (ranked in order of importance) teachers, a janitor, a secretary, and a Principal.
