State Auditor Calls for Increased Education Funding and Reduced Administrative Costs

State Auditor Shad White has long emphasized the need to invest more in classroom instruction and reduce administrative spending in schools. He argues that redirecting funds could improve educational outcomes.

White has highlighted the issue of excessive spending on administrative costs, which he says diverts resources away from students and teachers. He urges policymakers to prioritize funding directly for classroom needs.

Despite discussions over the years, White continues to push for reforms that would ensure more money reaches teachers and students, while minimizing bureaucratic waste.
