Teachers wish they could rephrase directions, but can't. Site-based management schools have more involvement, usually in the budgeting area. Even that was on the committee level. Where involved, teacher involvement included attendance records and coding new students. Special Education teachers are more aware of data related to special education students.
Librarians are aware of coding of purchase orders for new books and supplies.

Most of the groups surveyed indicated that they have seen this introduction of new titles for the past two to five years. None of these alternative staff positions require mid-management certificates or additional training.
