I think part of the issue here that's not addressed is how grossly overpaid school administration can be. Raising taxes != teachers getting paid more. If it did, people's tunes might change. Just as an example, one superintendent in Reading school district makes 245k a year.

That's ridiculous, especially considering how economically depressed Reading is.

This.

The number and cost of administration in schools has been increasing exponentially for decades while teacher salaries have stayed relatively flat.

For a superintendent job, that doesn't seem too high, they would make more than that in the private sector with the needed skills.
