VIDEO: Oklahoma's school staffing surge

April 16, 2013

I recently sat down with Dr. Ben Scafidi, professor of economics at Georgia College, to discuss the startling growth in bureaucratic overhead in Oklahoma’s public education system. In this brief video we discuss the similarities between delivering mail and delivering education, how Oklahoma could have been raising teacher salaries, and how being in an intact married family is more closely linked to student achievement than is per-pupil spending. I encourage you to take a look.
