local school transportation budget problems

So, today [5/27/14] I read in The Sun Chronicle that David Murphy, chair of the local school committee, is proposing hiring yet another administrator, at "100 large" per year, to find the "lost" money within the entire school budget, which would conceivably cover the new higher transportation costs.

Since when did spending another $100,000 (plus bennies) become the answer to an existing monetary shortfall?   I fail to understand or believe this "logic".  

I wonder what excellent City Auditor, Jim Castro, CPA, thinks of this idea.
