After recovering from a 34-million dollar budget deficit, the Seattle School District says it's heading into the next budget at least 16-million in the red. Now, a new report from a mom with two kids in the district is raising some serious questions about how the district is spending its money.

The Seattle School District has seen a steady decline in students over the years, so you would think that spending on Central administration, the people who oversee everything, would be scaled back. No, not according to a new report put together by Meg Diaz.

Diaz says Supervision of Instruction has ballooned the most. "Five years ago it was 14-million dollars a year and this year it's 31-million dollars, which is as much as we spend one very principal's office in the district"

Diaz worked for several years building financial models for a strategy consulting firm in Seattle. It took her six weeks of sifting through reams of data from the Seattle School District and the state to put together the 13-page report.
