APS still bloated

There is a report in the "Daily Briefing" in the Journal this
morning entitled; "School Budgets Get Good Reviews. They
provide no link.

According to the article, New Mexico School districts managed
to put "nearly 74%" of their budget dollars into classrooms.

APS reports, link, nearly 71% of its budget went to classrooms.

The difference between APS and the state average is 3%.
The difference amounts to nearly $18M that APS spends in
outside classrooms that other districts don't.

It stands to reason, the larger the operating budget, the
smaller the percentage of the budget that needs to be spent
on administration.

On the face of it, it appears that APS still has unresolved
bloat, and no one with any interest in defending it.
