Also, get to know the main secretary (usually the head principal's secretary). Try to win her/him on your side. The old saying is true: "They are the ones who really know what's going on". In smaller (or more rural) situations, they may be the one to go through for paperwork/budget submissions before proceeding to the central office level.
It's so true that money matters have to be handled correctly. Quite a few very competent directors were "released" due to $$$ issues.
