[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Conflicting information..some saying no, others yes with examples of how a Principal advocated. So, answer must be yes but a Principal should expect to be involuntarily transferred? [/quote]

No. You are conflating a couple of issues. Principals are welcome to advocate on non-political issues, to their elected officials. So, a principal testifying in front of the County council regarding a safety issue is normal.

What the other PP described was a principal using a public forum to criticize their own bosses. Well that may be morally and legally fine, I'm not terribly surprised that there were professional ramifications just as there would be professional ramifications for any of us if we criticized our own employers in public.

But talking about how the County council has not prioritized putting in a stop sign in front of a school is not criticizing your own supervisors, it is acting in your authority as a School employee to ask for attention from elected officials.[/quote]
