Yes - that is how it should be, apart from for project static files,
if you have any of those. You do not move the static files out of the
applications.

So, a slight problem here. STATIC_ROOT and STATICFILES_DIRS should be different.
STATICFILES_DIRS is a list of _additional_ directories that are copied
to STATIC_ROOT when you run collectstatic. This is where you list your
project static file directories, if you have any. You do not _need_ to
have any project static files, if all your static files are in
my_app/static, then you do not need to put anything in
STATICFILES_DIRS.
STATIC_ROOT is where files are collected to, IE it should be an empty
folder, it should not be the origin of your static files, it is where
your static files are copied to so that they can be efficiently
delivered to your users.

Have you configured apache or nginx (or whatever you use) to serve the
directory STATIC_ROOT at the url STATIC_URL?
