Because of budget cuts, principals try to build partnership with businesses and get donations. Assistant principals help principals manage schools. In large schools, there are several assistant principals and each manages a different area. For example, one handles discipline while another manages attendance. In smaller schools, one assistant principal covers several areas.
Assistant principles are responsible for assigning students to classes.
They also coordinate transportation, cleaning, and food services. In addition, assistant principals order textbooks. As principals take on more tasks, assistant principals are beginning to help principals with their duties. Thus assistant principals may evaluate teachers and write reports. At colleges and universities, administrators share the responsibilities and each has a specific function.
