I don't know what all districts are like- but I do know in our district we are now running one VP less than we used to. It used to be one VP for each grade level (or each 500/600 kids) which worked pretty well. The VPs handled all the discipline, the testing, the awards, etc. The counselors handle college counseling- now we have 2- so each of them gets to "counsel" around 1000 kids. Used to be we had 4- one for each grade level.

Our classes are huge, because we've reduced teaching staff.

Our district office is running very low on staff. Human resources for our district of 3 high schools, 5 middle schools, a home school office, 2 alternative high schools, and many elementary schools- is 5 people (including secretaries). It's gotten to the point that getting things done is glacially slow, because the folks at the district office are wearing so many hats.
