- Although it naturally varies widely, on Long Island, Administrative overhead per
- student in public school averages about SIX TIMES what it does in private school.
- In an extreme example, comparing my school district with the private school in
- which my mother teaches, the ratio is over 40. Salaries are less than
- half, secretaries per administrator are half, and the number of administrators
- per student is reduced MANY times over.
