Money is still being spent on the wrong reasons. The principal-s- get to sit around in lavish offices, air conditioned, etc.
Even in a budget crisis they opt to spend their money on cable TV which most classes will *never* use.
The money goes there while teachers suffer.

And I almost completely agree with Zeld2.0
When my high school had the option of air conditioning the old main building (where they had recently moved a majority of the classes) and badly needed funding for the science classes and music they chose instead to renovate the main administration building and give the new superintendent a brand new office.
And when the budget crunch came instead of belt-tightening they gave the basketball coach (he'd recently led them to state) a substantial raise along with the administration (cause they needed more money to sit in their fancy new offices.)
It's not about pumping more money into the schools it's about finding a way to use the money better. My nephews schools is one of the best in the region and they operate at a substantially lower cost than the "better schools."
