The Oklahoma Education Association (OEA) announced a plan yesterday demanding $850 million additional dollars for education. Their goal is to raise Oklahoma's per pupil spending to the national average. While I'm ok with that I would also suggest that we LOWER the per pupil spending for administration costs. Oklahoma may be in the bottom as far as the amount of dollars that go straight to the classroom but we are one of the top ten in how much we spend per pupil on administration costs. These include, among many other things, the comfy salaries that we pay our MANY superintendents.

What do we have to do to get our gutless legislators to address this issue?
