  1. Was the vice pricipal's secretary also let go? If he isn't there, what will she do for the town to earn her salary?

  2. A few secretaries have been let go - so the remaining ones may be moved around if needed. Obviously there won't be a secretary for a VP that doesn't exist - but the duties she was performing will be picked up by another position.
