[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just think it means that the school doesn't think there is that much need for the admin staff if the students aren't around.[/quote]

Central office staff members work on curriculum.  They handle safety matters.  They train teachers. They handle technology.  They oversee building services.  They monitoring testing procedures.  They developing training plans and materials.  They facilitate principals' meetings.

There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes.  Testing, for example, doesn't stop b/c kids aren't in school. Materials are collected. They're checked in. They're reviewed.

At the school level, an administrator's job doesn't "end" on a snow day either.  There is always paperwork to handle, meetings to attend at central office, financial management issues to deal with, etc.  It's worse for elementary school principals b/c they usually have no one to delegate projects to.  So sometimes a day w/o the kids allows them to catch up to some extent.

I love how everyone is an expert on education. [/quote]
