school administration
Who runs schools
School administration refers to the people who manage a school's operations—principals, vice principals, superintendents, and their staff.
The term covers both the individuals and the bureaucratic structure they represent.
Students and teachers often use it when discussing policies or decisions that come from above: The school administration banned cell phones in class.
It can carry a slightly impersonal or adversarial tone, distinguishing rule-makers from those who must follow the rules.
