Isn’t that the obvious question that suggests itself after seeing that CMS spends more money — especially local money — per pupil than any other district in the state? Over $8100 per student, on average.

And what is this — CMS lost almost one-third of its middle-school teachers last year? Just up and left the system. Now why would that happen?

Couldn’t be the persistent, chronic discipline problems in the system, could it?

Remind me again how $500 million in school construction and renovation is gonna this all this.
