From the District 303 FAQ’s:

Question #13: Will the district reduce the number of administrators if the referendum passes?

First and foremost, the March 21, 2006 referendum is only for new buildings and other capital projects. There is no connection of any kind between this referendum and administration, salaries, pensions or any other facet of operations.

Second, District 303 actually has fewer administrators per students than the state average; District 303’s administrators make less money than the state average; and District 303 spends less on general administration than the state average. (2005 Illinois District Report Card)
