The budget for the Miami school board is $6 Billion dollars a year, they have approximately 364,000 students. They also have approximately 50,000 employees to teach and manage the 364,000 students. Of those 50,000 employees, less then 50% are teachers (approximately 24,000 teachers). The
repurposing draft is supposed to save 2.4 million over the next four years.
Using these numbers, here are some stats:
A budget that averages a staggering $16,500 per student!
One employee for every seven kids!
One teacher for every 15 kids!
2.4 million is .04% (less then "1/2" percent") of the yearly school budget! To put this in perspective, if you are making $50,000 a year and I asked you to give me .04% of your salary. You will give me $20.
