Some will say "he doesn't know what he is talking about or he is crazy." One solution would be to cut two positions in the Central Office for each teacher in a school that is cut. After all, there are over 90 people in the Central Office special education department, doing who knows what.
Another option, as I have stated before, is to offer the employees in the special education department jobs in the schools. If they don't want to go back into the schools, and I will bet not many will, they need to seek employment elsewhere.
I am sure the School Board will come to a solution that is amicable to all except the teachers in the schools and the parents of the children in the schools.
Throwing more money at this problem is not the solution. Just check out the test scores and numbers of students enrolled 15 years ago and now.
