I don't know, but overwhelmingly, most litfish rabbanim don't have 10+ children. Apparently, they all use bc.

Aren't 990s transparent? This bookkeeper just started listing other expenses. Besides payroll for teachers, there is a lot of other staff.
There is books and technology.
Copy machines (often monthly rentals with per use fees) and printers and paper and ink.
Janitorial supplies.
Extermination and landscaping.
AC units that fizzle out and boilers that stop working.
Water bills and plumbing repairs.
Electricity and gas at a rate way higher than your home.
Licensing fees and expenses for meetings and professional development.
Accounting and legal fees.
Transportation expenses.
Classroom and office furniture.
Security.
Just start thinking about it, and I'm sure you can come up with more.
Lots and lots and lots of money besides just paying for a staff. I'm a homeowner, and every month I have an unexpected expense it seems -- this month, it's replacing our AC for over $2300. Compared to the size of the school and the relatively less wear and tear, you can imagine repairs and even regular monthly expenses are magnified on a much bigger level when you're talking about hundreds of people in a building on a daily basis.

Don't forget insurance costs - liability for the school, homeowner's for the building, health insurance for the staff etc. That's big money.
Parents pay tuition. They should have access to the budget (not the salary of each teacher, but the larger picture). When you trust people to educate your children, you ought to have financial openness, not to mention that in many cases, it's mandatory by law for the budget to be available.
