You are definitley headed for administration. Either that or Oprahs book club. Many teachers and administrators don’t realize that it is the classified staff that holds the school together.
Like Chris said, schools can go days without a principal, at least if there are no meetings :) , however have an office manager out and it goes to hell in a hand basket quickly.
Good on ya Dan.
Brian

We could go days without a principal in sight, but things start to fall apart when one of our administrative assistants is gone. I mean we wait to file stuff until she returns. But I wonder if it is more then that. Doing more in the building is beneficial. I do lots of little projects with other staff and administration and I get favors and considerations in return. I was struck by this recently when I ask for money, not a lot mind you, from my principal, this was the second time this year and for the second time, the words was yes. Now, I don’t know how often people are told no when it comes to money, but we are strapped for cash, accounts are frozen, printing disabled. She could have easily said, “Looks like you’ll have to cover this one yourself.”
