Perfect place to house the Department of Education because of the corruption in the top ranks. You have 13 deputy chancellors. You have about 50 department heads. Nobody at this school level ever deals with them. $41,000 we pay per student. And teachers still have to reach into their pockets to pay for basic supp. You cut at the top contracts that have been negotiated that have not been overseen, you will save millions and millions of dollars. (1:11:27–1:11:30)

CLAIM
