I realize that this topic is not covered by any of the current QuickTopics, but I thought I would post this in hopes of getting some advice.

The Richmond Middle School (6-8) in Hanover, NH, has a student population of 400 and a total staff population of 70. We currently have only one building administrator - the principal. The principal does all staff evaluation and supervision and all student discipline, as well as the normal administrative duties.

We are discussing the addition of an assistant principal position, but are also interested in looking at other models of administrative leadership.

Can anyone steer us in the right direction?

Thanks,
Jim Nourse
