Default California School Cut?

My school district is getting rid of 90+ Teachers, all because they want to save money. Why can't the school district find another way to make money?

What else can they do to raise money? I'm not exactly sure what can be done.

We used to raise money by having 'Fun Runs' and 'Lolly Drives' etc. We'd raise a few hundred dollars each time. A school fete is another good idea, but I am not sure if Amercian schools do this.

Start doing pay per view water-boarding of Islamofacists. All proceeds could go to the school. We could also do pay per view ritualistic executions of Islamofacists with that money going to the school also.

Hmm, somehow I don't think that will go down too well.

Too many highly paid administrators. There was a superintendent of an elementary school district not far from me that garnered $1.5 million in salary and free medical insurance for his entire family for life.

Cut out the administrators and the counselers and you'd have more money for teachers.
