education "employees." you'd be surprised at the split....it's like 30% teachers/70% administrators...and the number of admins has grown mightily in the last two decades.
NJ has only 21 counties but over 680 school systems, no lie. 70% of our property taxes fund the school systems, and the average household pays around $8,000 a year in property taxes. Some pay twice and three times that much.
I never heard of the exact numbers but I know NJ sinks in a lot of money into the school system. I also know people who believe they need more funding to educate the kids better and of course they're all liberals. What they don't realize is throwing more money at the system doesn't help the kids since all it does is create administrative jobs, increase their salaries, kickbacks with moronic publishers meant to indoctrinate kids, etc. It's amazing how many liberals think the money actually helps the kids. How about they have some accountability like charter schools who actually set requirements for teachers. Instead they have rubber rooms where teachers get paid to do absolutely nothing at work.

I’ve heard that a few times. They add multiple administrative positions for every single teacher position filled.
Because institutions are funded, not students
The whole system is a money suck. Eventually, the only way to get more pay is to be promoted, so they create pointless higher positions.
That's the reason they also want more counties. More counties equals more administration.

I heard of a movie that came out around 2009 that supposedly highlights a lot of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cartel
