We need small community minded schools. Ineffective uncaring teachers should be kicked out. Too bad the public school administration just hires teachers as if it’s a job to fill.

Most people don’t have a problem with effective public education. That’s why people with sufficient income move to high performing school districts so their kids can get a good education. But there are many school districts that have serious performance issues, enrollment is in decline and a third of the operating budget for salaries goes to the pension system. They are being starved for funds by poor pension decisions 20 years ago. A good charter schools gives low income parents in these districts options wealthier parents exercise with their choices on where to live.

This is how and why Gov Brown’s reform was so important and effective– it would be far worse if not for the ex Gov. The funds are still solid— Please don’t bother sending any Fox News talking points about “unfunded liabilities”– total sleeper and a top construct only a few years old now…snore time….zzzzzz

I am aware of the ratio of Democrats to Top cultists currently in Sacto and by golly even federally. I like it very much……….My post was that Top cult morons never miss a chance to bash public education. It’s dull-normal behavior from a once great party that was populated by statesmen and thinkers— now? Not so much. Mostly now filled with corpulent city gadfly types who read part of an A.Rand dope treatise and bloviate ad nauseum about all things civic, as if, they knew ANYthing.

Oh Lordy, are you one too?

Pension reform has mandated much higher contributions to CSTRS as shown in Figure 1 of this report where the contributions are shown as a percentage of overall salaries. https://gettingdowntofacts.com/sites/default/files/2018-09/GDTFII_Report_Koedel.pdf Note that the bulk of the increase falls to the local school districts and tops out in the early 2020’s. By 2021, 35% of the school district salaries will go to CSTRS with the employee contributing 10%, the school district 18% and the state 7%.

As usual, the pain was back loaded almost 10 years out and school district operating budgets will see as much as ~20% of their funds diverted to retiree pensions and healthcare. Declining enrollments exacerbate this problem as does diversion to charter schools. I wonder if the messy pension finances will also get an airing if more transparency is demanded.
