Not dissing on them but what exactly do they do ?
Wouldn't this be a positive thing ? i.e. if they dont have to pay 80k a year for an assistant prinicple they could use the money for equipment , computers etc
infact they could buy every school a computer lab full of computers by cutting the a.p.
they could buy 80 pimp systems for that cash ( assuming a vp makes 80k )

problem is that California has cut back on funding for computers and libraries and so much more.
We even have volunteer gym teachers and music teachers! And we are in the top 5 of LA schools - can you imagine the schools that don't have such active parents spending time and money to help out?
Our Asst. Principal has been vital to our school not only in education but in giving attention to the students on emotional, supportive, encouraging levels. She is the 'mother' of all students.
What she contributes on these levels, especially in this economy and world today that stresses out families and the children are feeling the effects at home... she is more important than ever in the school environment.
she is worth supporting because she supports my child on all levels.
People like her in schools are priceless.
