LETTER: Another study at the Clark County School District

Reading the Clark County School District is conducting different “operational ratio study” near maine asking a question galore taxpayers are astir apt wondering themselves: Shouldn’t territory enactment already cognize whether payer dollars are being spent wisely?

District officials already person years of enrollment data, thousands of employees, blase bundle systems and highly paid administrators whose occupation is to show staffing, operational costs and semipermanent planning. If enrollment has been declining for years — portion Nevada pupil proficiency rates stay lone astir 45 percent successful speechmaking and 35 percent successful mathematics — wherefore are taxpayers present paying extracurricular consultants to place problems territory enactment should already beryllium tracking internally? And what is the outgo of this study?

Operational reviews whitethorn person value, but taxpayers merit transparency and accountability. Too often, these studies consciousness little similar enactment and much similar bureaucracy creating screen for unpopular decisions.

At a clip erstwhile citizens are frustrated with authorities discarded and endless layers of administration, galore taxpayers are asking for communal consciousness and honorable management. Government should not request costly studies to observe what competent enactment should already know.
