$4800 on 1.6 lot with 2100 sq ft house, no garage, no barn.

The way I see it the biggest problem with school budgets in general is the too high cost of upper administration that in my opinion are redundant and do little that actually "touches" the kids in the classrooms.
As a accountant and software consultant I have experienced first hand the waste in school budgets.
For example, if the maintenance dept does not use its entire budget by year end, then they go out and buy a bunch of new equipment or supplies needed or not to use up their budget or fear their budget will get reduced. All the dept"s do the same thing.
There is no reward or incentive to be thrifty or cut costs. Until the tax payers revolt and vote down the school budget it just creeps up and up and up. Then when it does get voted down, teachers union plays the "its for the kids card."
I have to agree with this 20 yrs and retire stuff not being fair to the rest of us. Same for police, fire and sanitation dept"s. Put in your 20-25 yrs, work massive overtime your last 2 years to inflate your pension calculation and then retire on 1/2 to 3/4 of your regular pay.
When the median life span was shorter it was feasible, now it needs to be moved up to 30-35 years or else you can retire but not start collecting till your 60 or 65. Population growth is slowing and the actual percentage of people working is decline. NEW MATH just doesn"t add up!
