In all cases, the percentage of increase in revenue exceeds growth in students and teachers. It’s also important to remember that the numbers of students and teachers are reported by the districts to the state, and many teachers haven’t had full class loads for some time, while others are doing administrative jobs while classified as teachers, e.g., Teachers on Task Assignment.
