Rob,

Here's a better picture. It gets rid of the percentages and gives the raw
numbers spent per child. 


 Administrative Costs (in dollars) per student
<http://courtneys.us/msd/images/Admin_per_Student.jpg> 

Again, this is showing that MSD is way off the scale high in how much it
spends on Admin overhead per student. Note: this is last year's numbers
(FY02-03). 

Do you want another shocking fact? The amount that MSD is spending on Admin
costs has increased 48.99% from last year to this year (FY03-04). With the
number of students about the same as last year (thanks to adding in the
kindergarteners), you can see what that does to FY03-04 spending. 

OK, everyone, let's recite the mantra: put a levy on the ballet! It's for
the kids, right? Ha!

Best,
Dale
