Does anyone know if such numbers exist?" This doesn't exactly answer your question but I recall hearing Governor Dean say in one of the debates that the Act cost Vermont $400 for every $100 it got from the Federal government. On another subject, that of the area superintendents, we need to distinguish between the question of whether there should be a layer of management between the Superintendent and the 87 or so principals and other people who now report to the area superintendents and the question of how well the exisiting area superintendents are doing their jobs. I've seen a number of posts in which people want to eliminate the area positions because they weren't satisfied with the answers they got from a particular area superintendent. That, in and of itself is no reason to get rid of the area superintendent positions. It may be a reason to get rid of a particular person.
