When you see flames in one apartment and warn the whole building, that isn’t "influence." That's humanity.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the fire. Your country is the building.
I can sound the alarm, but I can’t fight your fire for you. You are the firefighters.
I’m a Muslim Arab from the UAE, which banned the Muslim Brotherhood. I’m warning you about the fire we already recognized.
Don’t attack the alarm because you’re afraid to face the flames.
@Hillbilly4all@EricLDaugh Doesn't matter his sexual preferences. I believe he's done a lot more than you have in regard to getting the vote out and cleaning up voter rolls.
Oklahoma Schools: How Top-Heavy Administration Is Draining Classroom Dollars
If you care about where your tax dollars go in Oklahoma public education, you need to see this. A new transparency dashboard analyzing FY2025 data from the Oklahoma Cost Accounting System (OCAS) reveals that many school districts are significantly “top-heavy,” spending far more on administration relative to actual classroom instruction than their peers.
Key Facts from the Data:
• Statewide average administrative spending ratio: ~28.3%
• 227 districts flagged for review
• 65 districts flagged as CRITICAL, meaning their administrative spending is dramatically higher than classroom spending
Highest Administrative Spending Ratios:
• Proud to Partner Leadership Charter Academy: 131.1%
• Carlton Academy – Canadian Charter: 107.8%
• Dove Virtual Academy: 72.3%
• Liberty Public Schools: 69.5%
• Wanette: 66.3%
• Pioneer-Pleasant Vale: 65.4%
• Pond Creek-Hunter: 63.2%
• Ringwood: 62.4%
• Plus many more small rural districts and certain charter schools exceeding 50%.
These figures indicate that some districts are spending more, and in some cases substantially more, on central administration, superintendent offices, and overhead than on teachers, instructional materials, and direct classroom instruction.
Why This Matters
Oklahoma already ranks near the bottom nationally in per-pupil spending and teacher pay. When administrative costs continue to grow, particularly in smaller districts with fixed overhead or certain charter and virtual school models, fewer dollars remain for classrooms. That means fewer resources for teachers and students while bureaucracy expands.
This does not describe every district. Many traditional public schools remain at or below the statewide average. However, the highest-spending districts deserve scrutiny from parents, taxpayers, and lawmakers.

Look up your district, compare administrative versus classroom spending, and explore the full interactive data. Transparency is one of the best tools taxpayers have for holding government accountable.
If your district appears in the Critical category, ask questions at your next school board meeting. Find out why administrative overhead is so high and what steps are being taken to direct more resources into classrooms where they belong.
Our students deserve better than bloated bureaucracy. Share this so more Oklahomans can see the numbers for themselves.
