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.

Sorry, but I can't see paying $80k a year to give kids a mother. They come with one. If she was truly a "mother" to these kids she would be doing it for free.
Here is a tip to get those things that are no longer in the budget . . . grants. Surely some of the parents at your kids schools work for corporations that love giving out grants that are properly applied for. Those monies can not be used for budgeted school items.
I am responsible for my kids school having a computer lab. Not only did I put it together for them and train the kids [and teachers] to use them, but I got the grant to pay for it.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
