[00:00:00]  Florida has 69 school districts in the entire state.
[00:00:03]  Do you know how many school districts California has?
[00:00:04]  How many?
[00:00:06]  939.
[00:00:07]  That's 939 superintendents who make between two, three, four hundred thousand dollars.
[00:00:11]  That's 939 assistant superintendents, school boards, purchasing agents, administrative facilities, facilities for the offices, facilities to hold school board meetings.
[00:00:20]  That's where all the money is going.
[00:00:21]  That's why I was wondering where all this money going because the teachers are not making a lot of money.
[00:00:25]  So that's why you've got so much bureaucracy, so much money going towards the school system that's not making it down to educate the students.
[00:00:32]  You've got one school district for every 6,000 plus students in California.
[00:00:37]  You've got one school district for every 40,000 students in Florida and Florida has significantly better test scores than California does.
[00:00:45]  We've got this state in California with all these geniuses in it.
[00:00:49]  They can't look at that and bring it down to a reasonable number where that money is actually making it to the students.
[00:00:53]  It goes into the classroom.
[00:00:55]  It goes into the classroom.
