Why are central administration costs below the statewide average in the largest districts – Portland, Salem, Beaverton for example – and what is included in this category?
Central administration for OpenBook$ includes staff salaries in the superintendent’s office or for other education leaders not located at specific schools. Put simply, this category includes only administrators. We would expect the percentages to be lower in the larger districts because the costs for central administration are spread across an overall larger district budget.
