CARROLLTON: TEN YEARS IN THE LEDGER

Numerous readers have asked me to take a look at Carrollton Public Schools.

Well, dearest readers... your Lady has arrived. 🪶

Over the last decade, enrollment remained remarkably steady, down just 1.96%.

Meanwhile:

Revenue per pupil: +62.33%
Instruction per pupil: +69.55%
Instructional support: +71.06%
Business & administration: +47.75%
Operations & maintenance: +93.64%

And average teacher salary?

$55,044 → $62,424, up just 13.41%, compared with 35.83% inflation.

The number getting the biggest circle in my ledger, though?

Operations & maintenance, up 93.64% per pupil. 👀

That doesn't tell us why.

It tells us where to look next. 🪶

With receipts & respect. 👑
