Given our tax rate I’m surprised our per student spending is so low…oops, my bad – I forgot – most of the money is being spent to pay California teachers 30% higher than the national average and to fund their Golden parachutes – same goes for most other gov’t workers. [/quote]Teacher salaries and pensions are included in per student spending.
BTW, Nebraska consistently spends more on K-12 per student than California. Even though their cost of living is much lower and they don’t have to pay higher than the national average just to find someone, anyone willing to work as teachers.

ParticipantEven if Teachers total compensation is included, I think we all know where the money is going…
Honestly though, I don’t want to fight this battle, and I do think teachers deserve a good salary and benefits.

California is at 124.8% of average for teacher salaries.
http://www.aft.org/salary/2007/download/AFT2007SalarySurvey.pdfCalifornia cost of living is 136.6% of average.
California cost of housing is at about 200% of average.
http://www.top50states.com/cost-of-living-by-state.htmlThis would suggest to me that they make comparatively less than most teachers nationally.
Would you disagree?
