Fewer students but more teachers, spending

School board eyes levy on developers (Feb. 11)

Enrolment is shrinking, yet the teachers’ compliment is increasing, and the administration is building a new Ivory Tower on the Mountain.

Do they become education consultants for $400 a day while collecting full, indexed pensions?
