🚨Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia says FAFO Audits of School Boards across Florida ARE COMING! Says budgets have been going up EXPONENTIALLY with administrators being OVERPAID and teachers being SHAFTED like in Broward.
“We are in the process of gathering information from school boards across the state of Florida, and we are putting into context not only the growth in general government, but the growth in school board budgets over time.
What we have seen, generally is that the amount of the budgets for school districts are going up EXPONENTIALLY, similar to what we're seeing in general government. And the scary part about that is what we are seeing is that the number of administrators that we are seeing is really skyrocketing, and the pay for the administrators are skyrocketing. When the teacher pay is actually flatlining, not going up anywhere it needs to be, but seems to be finding student populations.
So our job is to put that all into context of how a school board budgets are growing relative to the population that they serve, which is the students. I personally believe, and again, this is a general statement, but I believe this stands true against all the school districts. I believe that there is enough room in these school board budgets to cut their budget by cutting a lot of the fat and still give teachers pretty decent raises.
And anyone who hasn't, who thinks that we can't, hasn't even tried to put pen to paper. It CAN be done, it's just a WILL, a political will, and a policy will to get it done.”
