That is how our district is set up - I'm the only certified staff member,
and we have an aid at the elementary school and an aid at the middle
school.  I spend the VAST majority of my time at "my" building, and
communicate through email and phone with the aids at the other two
buildings.  All purchasing goes through me.  It works out well.  We have
roughly 200 students at each building.
