- Safety and Security
- Effective communications

Just to name a few…

Are they not learning the above in these certificate and master’s programs in Education Administration/Leadership?

Lots of theory is covered in graduate programs. Principals need training in practicalities and translating theory into action.

Isn’t that what the Principal internship is is place to help with?

I'm just a parent, but I've experienced a few principal interns, and I'm not sure if they're getting enough time in the internship or depth of experience to learn what they need to learn. Would be good to hear what actual principals think about the principal internship model and its efficacy.

It looked like board member Rivera-Oven abstained from voting for O'Neill, but voted yes on all the other appointments. Anyone know why?

She's objected before when she thought principal appointees didn't represent the demographics of a school very well. In this case, a white principal was appointed for Clarksburg, which has a white student enrollment of 14%.

At each of the next several board meetings they should have more appointments.
