Teaching Assistant Principals

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.
