So - here's one for you:
With three new charter schools coming into Delaware's edusphere, let's talk charter school consolidation. The three schools approved yesterday will collectively serve 700 students. Each new school requires back office support such as Finance and HR folks.
3 New Charters + 24 Operating or Expected to Open 2014 = 27 Finance Directors and 27 HR Specialists.
That's 54 back office staffers!
The traditional districts operate far more schools with far fewer finance and hr staff members. Yet, they get the heat for being the most top-heavy!
Is it time to consolidate Charters into a real "Charter District" with bulk back office support to meet finance and hr needs? Surely that would result in fewer than 54 employees!
It just may be!
