[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I think OP is raising a valid issue.  As for the idea that it's not the principal's job to ensure there is sufficient staffing to cover recess/lunch, I disagree.  At our elem, the assistant principal has always been responsible.  So at elems that don't have an assistant, wouldn't it be the principal's job, or his/her designee?  More lunch supervision is needed for the younger kids, especially kindergarten, so I can see not having much coverage for the 4-5th graders.  On the playground, though, that's another issue.  If a child is seriously injured on the playground, the county would certainly be sued, so it only makes sense to provide sufficient coverage.  At our elem, also, we hear constantly of the need for more lunch/recess supervision.  I can understand that it's always nice to have more, but the tone of these requests makes it sound as though the supervision is lacking.  It's a concern of mine, too, but I can't be up there frequently since I work FT, just as many parents do.  I think it's something to ask Starr about.  I don't think our elem had a very difficult time finding people to take those jobs, but all their hours were reduced to nothing.[/quote]
