It depends on the number of students. There is a cut-off point. If that number is passed, the principal is entitled to a deputy principal or to become an administrative principal as opposed to a working principal. There is a structure and a system in which one can apply. Any changes would mean there would have to be a budgetary process, because by moving principals, we are potentially putting in place more positions, more roles, and it costs more.
