From what I understand, a huge factor in this was principals over-hiring teachers. I believe this is due to deregulation of school budgets. It is no longer overseen by a district office but rather each principal is in charge of their school budget based on projected school enrollment. When the new school year ends, school budgets are adjusted for actual enrollment after a certain cut-off date.
I'm sure that there is some fiscal responsibility training involved in principal programs but, essentially, you have people who may have started their education career as a kindergarten principal or an 8th grade history teacher in charge of the huge operating budget of a school. You almost have to expect irregularities.
As for those district positions, I have no theory on that.  |
No, it was not the fault of the principals. The Central Office of DISD has admitted that it was their own accounting errors.
