Principal Vacancies

Why don't they try random people? They already KNOW these principals can't do the job. If they hire someone totally random, it will at least be hit or miss instead of a definite swing and "miss."

What does that even mean? They would have to post the principal position to look for a replacement.

Does anyone know anything about Deborah Higdon? She was just named as the acting principal at RICA. Looks like she retired but then has been a substitute administrator for a few years?

Shouldn’t BCC have hired their new principal by now? I wonder what’s taking so long.

Who would want it?
It’s not worth the money.

Agreed.

There is an activist parent group at B-CC who seems to have absolutely no idea what the principal can and cannot influence. They would blame the principal for bad weather and say he should be fired.
