I think the rule should be, the combined salaries of the teachers and anyone else spending most of the time with kids, like special education assistants, counselors, etc. have to be some multiple of the salaries of everyone else in the district. Ideally, a multiple should be such that the districts are initially out of compliance by 2-3x, and they either have to come up with lot more money, or get rid/cut salaries of a bunch of non-teaching parasites they now employ. Then in future when they want to hire a diversity coordinator or spike an administrator's salary before retirement so that they could get a $300k pension, they have to raise teacher salaries automatically.
