I don't know how your government agancies work but down here School Distrct Managers not only get a parking space, they get a car and gas. The directors, Assistant Superintendants and Superintendant also have a district credit card.
High Schools have to be designed with student parking. They get to call themselves green if they recycle plastic and paper.
