Where are principal and assistant principal salaries budgeted?
The total budget of $2.0659 billion for teacher salaries is listed in the appropriations table on page 39 of the proposed FY2011 budget book and includes $79.9 million for principal salaries and $72.6 million for assistant principal salaries. It is important to note that the majority of elementary APs are ‘teaching APs’ (estimated at more than 450 full-time employees) and provide classroom instruction in addition to school administrative duties. The breakdown of salaries in the budget book is based on account codes in our general ledger; we have separate account codes for teachers (which includes both principals and APs – who are teaching APs at elementary schools) and account codes for educational support personnel (ESPs).
