Brownsville Elementary School in Bremerton, WA has 460 students and one principal. All 15 elementary schools in the Central Kitsap School District have one principal apiece. The middle and high schools have principals and assistant principals. The district has the normal administrative positions for a district of its size of 13,156 students. There are 880 certified employees (teachers) and about as many classified employees. 71.24 % of the annual budget is allocated to the classrooms. The % of budget allocated to administration is one of the lowest in the state, according to the district website. Class size ranges from 19 to 28 students per class depending on the grade. Teachers consider this to be fairly high; maybe that's why they're complaining. Caution against using admittedly left-leaning teacher union employees as unbiased sources. I'm not trying to bust your chops. I've been both a teacher and a school district administrator. If you have further questions, I'd be happy to help out.
