Or teachers
Or school buildings
Or materials
Or supports for kids with disabilities

All they care about is destruction of the very systems that need re structuring not de structuring. And they can start with many of the lame ass administrator jobs that are in systems that can barely feed kids. They can start by trimming and in some cases a full on hair cut of the same administrators who are making big, big bucks with huge perks.

Washington does not live in the same country we live in.
