Springfield ISD

Another data to show schools are largely wasteful and hand ringers don't care about the education.

Chicago is going to have 4-Day school weeks in order to save money. It's not they don't have the money, rather, they wasted money on other unnecessary stuff, mostly in the form of administrative cost.

Having 4 day school week reduces the total school days by 144 days or 28 weeks in 4 years. The figure equals to 2/3 of full school year. This figure implies that almost 16.5% of the school time is unnecessary based on this figure. It also implies that those who has gone to school before them, 16.5% of their life time has been unnecessary.

The Springfield ISD's expenditure is at $189,339,719. ([1] page 2) @ 15,123 students @ page "[2] iv". This comes down to $12,519.85 per student.
