We haven't gotten to the FY11 budget yet--we've been talking organization--but you may remember that the administration did come out with a proposal to close the budget gap. Among the proposals was cutting the assistant principal stipend for those elementary schools with a teaching assistant principal, an enrollment below 400, and no STEP program.
For those who are wondering about where the teaching assistant principals currently are whose positions might be lost, they are:
Lake View School
May Street School
Midland Street School
West Tatnuck School
Lincoln Street School
Francis J. Mcgrath Elementary School
Worcester Arts Magnet School
Thorndyke Road School
Wawecus Road School
Canterbury Street Magnet School
Heard Street Discovery Academy School
The twelfth is Vernon Hill School, but Vernon Hill is projected to go above 400 next year, so that's been looked at again.

How much money does this put back into the budget? How does this affect safety protocols for when the principal is out of the building (esp in the case of an emergency)? For the other elementary schools - which ones maintain a teaching asst. principal and which ones have a full time asst. principal? Our principals are being called out of the buildings for meetings more and more often, we need a clear deliniation of control/responsibility during those periods of absence.
