Uncategorized Study: A fourth of public school spending goes to salaries and benefits of nonteachers Date: October 27, 2016Author: CrisAP 0 Comments A new Thomas B. Fordham Institute study finds that the number of non-teaching staff in the United States has grown by 130% since 1970.

The largest single position is now that of “teacher aide,” which was pretty much nonexistent in 1970. Advertisements Share this:TwitterFacebookGoogleLike this:Like Loading...
