Should We Be Looking to Save Money at the Top?

I heard that comments were made by the public at the last School Board meeting along the lines of saving money by eliminating administrative positions instead of student activities. I did some research on the PED website and was pretty surprised to find that our school's teacher-to-administrator ratio is 9-to-1, while other schools our size are anywhere from 17-to-1 all the way up to 48-to-1!

So I decided to call around to these schools and see how their administrative positions stacked up to ours. Clearly, the norm at small schools is for administrators to multi-task. You can view the results of my research at the following links and draw your own conclusions.
