How does the "school system" work? (schools, teachers)

[Calusblade]

Alright so I'm not sure what is it called. Maybe school position system? but anyway I'm pretty much asking who's in charge of schools form the very top to the bottom.

I assume its something like this:

Chancellor
Superintendent
Principal
Vice principal
Head teacher? or is it something like parent-teacher coordinator?

I'm just curious about this. I'm pretty sure I learn this in 1st or 2nd grade but that was over 20 years ago.

Forget all that. In NYC there are only two people who run the schools -- the mayor and the head of the teachers union. Everyone else has input to some degree. But these two are usually the most powerful.
