LADY BUDGETDOWN: CEDAR SPRINGS PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Step 2: Let's follow the staffing.
From 2014–15 to 2024–25:
📉 Pupils: −13.08%
👩�🏫 Teachers: −10.5%
👥 Total staff: +11.4%
🏛� Total administrators: +28.7%
🏢 District-level administrators: +60.0%
And elsewhere in the staffing ledger:
Instructional aides: +72.3%
School support: +42.6%
Other support: +57.8%
So over the decade, Cedar Springs had fewer students and fewer teachers — while total staffing and administration grew.
That doesn't tell us why.
But it certainly tells us where to keep looking. 👀
With receipts & respect. 👑
