As WPS budget watchers will know, we've illustrated for years how incredibly underfunded our central administration is. For the current year's budget, you can find it here: https://worcesterschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/FY23-Recommended-Budget-Worcester-Public-Schools.pdf#page=402

I'd also note that we have long since committed to a policy that no more than 1.5% of the district foundation budget will be spent on administration; it's written straight into our district policy.
