How does going from one administration to two result in cost savings?
Currently, because the district is too big for the Superintendent to manage, he must rely on a Deputy Superintendent. Together, they manage 6 Assistant Superintendents who, in turn, rely on 34 Executive Directors, Directors, Assistant Directors and “Chiefs.” Two smaller districts would be more efficient, perhaps even eliminating entire levels from the organization chart. Economies of scale have not worked for this district, in fact, we spend more per student on our administrators than other major Front Range districts. There is nothing to prevent sharing some facilities and resources between the two new districts, if it saves both districts money. The planning committee will determine which sharing arrangements make sense and which ones don’t.
