BCS: the BLACK HOLE OF TAX PAYER $$$$ DOLLARS ---


 
BCS:  the BLACK HOLE OF TAX PAYER $$$$ DOLLARS --- 

 BCS...where gym teachers ($60k)  and grounds keepers ($50-55k)  & bus garage ($60k)  earn more than the TEACHERS...and at $144,000 the  SUPERINTENDENT earns more than other districts with 10x the student population (NYMills & Rome!)...
 
Owens,Paul T $63,372 2012 Transportation Manager
Kupris,Mark E $52,007  2012
Kupris,Paul E $45,100  2012 Building & Grounds Manager
Murdock, Brent J $60,009  2012 Specials Phys Ed
Howlett, Karen A $66,165  2012 Specials Phys Ed

Very interesting....apparently we have 30 students in BCS unaccounted for -- we're always told it's 240....or are they excluding 10% of the student population that they bring in from OTHER DISTRICTS......at a "reported" enrollment of 209 our per student costs are $28,000+  and the national average is $10,608.....
 
Do the math
Budget  $     5,900,000 Last year's Budget at BCS
Students 209
Per Child  $         28,230 Per Year
 
 The Utica school district spends $15,129 per student — 42.6 percent higher than the national average of $10,608. BROOKFIELD COST = $28,230 per student.  -
