The money is largely not going to teacher salaries, classroom supplies, or to anything that affects "educational outcomes".

So you claim.

Luckily, this is researched extensively, and schools must publish budgets. Typically, spending on 'instruction' is >60% of the expenditures, almost all of that is salaries and benefits. Capital outlay is usually around 8-10%, support services and administration around 10%, operations and maintenance around 10%, and around 5% for transportation/bussing.

Contrary to the typical claims that 'administration' or capital costs suck up all the money, the majority of the money does go to teachers' salary.
