LADY BUDGETDOWN: PORTAGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Dear readers, the Portage staffing ledger is open, and this one is worth a look. 👓

Over the decade:

Pupils: −1.31%
Teachers: +6.0%
Total administrators: +38.2%
Total staff: +20.5%

And within administration:

District administrators: +57.4%
School administrators: +33.3%

Enrollment remained remarkably steady. Staffing did not.

So Lady Budgetdown has one little question for the ledger:

Where did the growth go? 📖

With receipts & respect. 👑
