In recent years, U.S. public schools have experienced a sharp divergence: staffing numbers have dramatically increased even as student enrollment has continuously declined.
While overall school employment grew by adding administrative and support staff, teacher hiring specifically outpaced the dwindling student population.
The Recent Data (School Year Comparisons)
Data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) highlights a massive gap between employment surges and student population contractions:
I seem to recall children were home schooled during the pandemic and schools were not even open....pandemic learning loss, indeed.

The Recent Data (School Year Comparisons)
Data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) highlights a massive gap between employment surges and student population contractions:
- 2024–2025 School Year: Public schools added approximately 118,000 total new full-time employees. Of those, 90,000 were teacher positions. During that exact same period, student enrollment dropped by 135,000 students.
- 2023–2024 School Year: The trend was nearly identical. Schools added 121,000 total employees while losing another 110,000 students.

Perhaps Eggplant can weigh in and explain the numbers, after all he just spent 20 pages explaining how California's diesel prices are just an illusion.RebelGator » 25 Sep 2026, 5:24 am » wrote: ↑ In recent years, U.S. public schools have experienced a sharp divergence: staffing numbers have dramatically increased even as student enrollment has continuously declined.

The Recent Data (School Year Comparisons)
Data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) highlights a massive gap between employment surges and student population contractions:The primary driver behind this hiring surge during a population decline was the influx of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds—historic federal pandemic relief money. School districts used these temporary federal dollars to aggressively hire more teachers, counselors, and support staff to combat pandemic learning loss and lower student-to-teacher ratios.

What kind of linkage? Chromosomes in DNA or context by language barriers? I can do some amazing numbers by unique chromosomes since conception those only honoring date of birth never accept factually actually evolving one at a time in plain sight of their own brain navigating space proportionately alive by heartbeats experienced since conception.Blackvegetable » 25 Sep 2026, 6:05 am » wrote: ↑ learn how to link.
