The purpose of the audit is to improve the quality of education, while saving money. The American Federation of Teachers said school systems need to spend more money on instruction, and less on administration.

Burnett also said he hopes Tuesday evening's discussion will help lawmakers understand that counties are better able than the state to understand what their students need.
