When I was a teacher in CA the state was responsible for
the financial decisions. And the CA dept of education and the school board sucked. They were the direct cause for screwing up year in and year out. They could"t plan ahead financially for over 6 months into the future.
One day it was, "The state gave us no money so we have to lay off 20% of teachers and support staff". Six months later they were hiring more teachers and support staff since they screwed up. It sounds like tRump's firing of DOGE staff then hiring them back 2 months later. Both suck at handling finances!!!
It was an emotional and financial and mental disaster year in and year out. And this was the 8 largest school district in the US at the time.
