Where does your source say that administrative expense doesn't include support services, or is this your speculation?

Edit: Looking at that latest spreadsheet, the numbers don't sum horizontally. What is missing? Overhead, I suppose? Where does it say that?

In the footnotes.

I concede they have to pay rent and power and water and insurance and gas for the school buses. Those amounts are less than 10% of the $12,000 they take in.

They do sit on a lot of cash, too.

Your ex wives live large on the alimony you give them.

Bribes expense! You forgot bribes expense!

Anyway...you need to find a source in which the numbers add up without missing holes. Then you'll be more convincing. If you think that schools aren't run efficiently, then you should find examples of them failing audits. Something, anything. Your current source sucks. You don't seem motivated.

I think you're just blowing smoke to raise board hits. So take a hit and THEN blow smoke.

I reviewed the books of the Mountain View School District for 4 years, and attended all the school board meetings.

They spent every dollar in their budget. If they didn't, the state would take it from them and spend it on something else. Money that was in their capital budget could not be used to build a science lab or computer lab or library. The $millions in that budget did get swept away by the state government each year.

In the case of Oregon, without a sales tax contributing to education we rely on property owners, alcohol, tobacco and gambling for our budget and it's not working. If you live here and rent, don't smoke, drink or gamble...you basically get a free ride. Where I live homeschooling and private schooling is huge.

Nonsense. If you rent, you pay 100% of the property tax for that property. You pay it to your landlord monthly and he passes it on to the government in November.

Unless you're homeless, or pastor of a church, you pay property taxes.

Parents should be more accountable and actually have parenting skills before they start making babies

Schools should teach parenting skills, personal credit management, and tax preparation.

Lacking knowledge in any one of these areas can doom a young grad to a life in debt, prison, or worse.

They need to teach reading and writing first.

Just because red states spend more on education doesn't mean they spend them on the right things...
