The primary activity of any public education institution is to educate children. The delivery of services involved in educating<br />
children is a labor intensive effort. It stands to reason that the cost of hiring and employing the necessary staff to deliver the<br />
necessary services would be the primary expenditure of the <strong>District</strong>. In fact, salary and benefit expenditures represent<br />
approximately 90% of the General Fund expenditures. Within the salary and benefit expenditures, the <strong>District</strong> has a long<br />
history of allocating the lion's share of resources to the primary mission rather than into unnecessary administration. Within<br />
the <strong>Granite</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong>, myths about top heavy administration have no basis in fact.<br />
The <strong>District</strong> has identified several major initiatives in the organizational section. The Board of Education reviews, evaluates<br />
and balances FTE allocations between new initiatives and continued efforts to meet the <strong>District</strong>'s mission.<br />
