My vote is to pay teachers very well but tie it to independent performance reviews. ( Careful with this item as it needs more details which begets a new thread)
If you really want to complain, how about the $100-150k salaries for the 2-4 vice principals/high school. And even with that, there hands are tied in expelling problem kids. So are they really necessary at such a cost?
Not to mention the layers of staffing at the District level, State Board of Ed is even fatter.
