Our ES has 2 Assistant principals. That’s $300K in waste in one ES.

One ES has 3 principals total. That’s $500K in salaries just in the front office. Such redundancy. This is what people really need to be complaining about. This is tax payer money not going to direct education.

What an ignorant quote. Assistant Principals perform the vital work of maintaining discipline, supervision and at the Elementary level handling all testing. They often divide responsibilities by grade level or content so they are not redundant positions. They hire the teachers and evaluate them. Principals are responsible for the big picture and budget items but the AP's do a lot of the day to day work that families would see. If you have kids in the schools, you know the AP's are the ones that are calling with the issues and handling your emails and requests. They also work 11-12 month contracts as opposed to the 10 month teacher contracts which often accounts for the salary difference.

The amount of AP's is dictated by the size of the population of the school. so each AP is responsible for dealing with hundreds of families and dozens of teachers. And they are not new positions, they have been around since I attended FCPS in the 80's. But people couldn't spout off nonsense about them on anonymous forums and call their work "wastes" in the past.[/quote]

I think it is a relevant question to think about whether eliminating positions like this and hiring more teachers to create smaller classes would remove the need for some of the "discipline and supervision."  [/quote]
