For the lowest schools that score under 70% I say that principals are only paid the % of their salary that matches their attendance numbers.

What is also interesting is that the MD report card number doesn't seem to match the data that was leaked to WaPo. So either the problem is getting worse and the MD report is one year behind or there is a little cooking the books going on at a few of the schools mentioned in the article when they submit their numbers to the state.

Might be time for the state or even feds to do some investigating at a few of our local schools. I believe that some funding grants are tied to attendance numbers. [/quote]

Do you honestly think the principals are the root of the problem?[/quote]

Many exacerbate the problem. I get that the sh*t trickles down.  Once discipline eroded, attendance followed.  These are federal guidelines the states had to push.  And then each county tweaked them to fit their culture. So some of the smaller counties, where schools have more autonomy, don't feel the pressure.

Many of these principals are so brainwashed that they don't know their heads from their a**es.  They aim to please b/c they like their salaries and pensions.  Who doesn't? But the teachers are the ones who are willing to come forward, NOT the administrators.

GOOD leaders worth their paychecks work FOR their subordinates.  You are a leader b/c the masses trusted you to do right by them.  Or so they thought . . . This hasn't been the case for a very long time now.  Leaders lead in fear and promote fear among the teachers.  So many either push back as hard as they can (We admire them.) or they leave (We envy them.).
