[quote=Anonymous]FWIW: Plenty of people who aren’t on those interview committees have info. For instance, I found out my principal was applying for a job at the cluster’s high school when a few staff members at that school casually mentioned he had been there that day because he was planning to interview for the position. They were in my school to talk about the rising 8th graders. A few of my colleagues looked kind of surprised, but I don’t think anyone was shocked. You have to understand that for staff members, principal picks are a big deal. We may be trying to decide whether to stay or leave a specific school, and we have a limited interviewing window, and that’s a critical data point. We probably care more than parents to some extent. We know not to choose a school for a specific admin, because they do move around, but when you have, say, a known bad boss, you don’t want to flee your school if he or she is on the way out anyway. And if you do leave, you don’t want to end up where he (or she) lands! That would be a cruel irony.

I think the people on those commtittees do keep it secret—but no one else really does. Word gets around. [/quote]
