Dude, you know everyone agrees that there is waste in the school system. And there are fucking idiots everywhere, as it turns out.
Where does the article state 100% of the DoE employees are classroom teachers?
Why are many school districts "notorious" for personnel overhead? Sounds like the tax dollars earmarked for education should be spent more efficiently or allocated elsewhere.

Agree that "DoE employees" instead of "educators" would have been a better choice of words. But I would argue that a principal is a good example of an educator who isn't a classroom teacher (in his or her present role).
However this discussion detours from from the main point of the article - It's not a flattering look for teachers unions and school boards to argue for over a year that schools were (are?) unsafe environments for the students and staff when 40% of DoE employees in NY remain unvaccinated even though the vax is widely available to anyone who wants one.
Obviously the blame lies at the feet of all the Trumpites and conservatives working for the DoE in the Deep Red state of New York.

For those in North Carolina, COVID cases have begun rising. Yesterday was the first day with over 1000 cases reported in the state in 2 months. I check our hospital system dashboard (updates at least hourly) and we have doubled in cases in the past few days. This is almost certainly from the delta variant. I think cases will rise quickly and we are probably looking at a 6 week surge. Even if vaccinated, I would plan to wear a mask indoors and avoid indoor contact as much as possible over the next 6 weeks.
I wrote this on 7-16-21. Our hospitalized cases have now gone up 7x since our low point in June. I think we are looking at 2 more weeks of rising cases in the US, so my advice remains the same - wear a mask indoors in NC for the next month.
The school is in Durham, btw.
