What does School Administrator do?

The duties of school administrators may vary depending on the size and type of school they work in. For example, school administrators in small day care centers (where they may be the only member of the administrative team) have different scope of responsibility than at a large college (where they may specialize in a specific area). Generally though, School Administrators manage budgets, handle logistics and act as a point of reference for everyone in the school.

School Administrator responsibilities

  • Coordinating all administrative processes.
  • Managing budgets, policies and events.
  • Resolving conflicts or other issues as they occur.
