You have no concept of how a school is run if you think $20,000 is a pittance.
It IS a pittance. That was the upper bound I estimated for a LARGE school with several thousand students. Such a school will have a budget on the order of several MILLION dollars. I think it's worth spending a small fraction of 1% of the school's budget to find out if it's actually accomplishing its primary objective and who its best and worst performers are...rather than just guessing which teachers and school investments produce the best student results, and keeping incompetent teachers on the payroll for years because measuring their performance would be too expensive. But that's just me.
