The fact is, I was never too bright in school. I ain't ashamed of it, though. I mean, how much do school principals make a month?

We've already set aside money for recruiting. We've been talking to principals for several years about going to job fairs and connecting with the colleges. Not all teachers will be brand new; we want to lure experienced ones from the other districts. For that, we have, for the last few years, focused on getting our teachers' salary schedule competitive.

What happens is the principals hide the job during the placement of the consolidated teachers. Then, once they're gone, they magically discover they have that job.

Mr. Gunter has agreed to testify against the two principals and we anticipate he will be very helpful as we prosecute this case for a death penalty.

Now teachers and principals at our schools can go up there for the training because it's just amazing.

People were horrified. Some of the principals started crying. It must have lasted for 20 minutes just watching and listening to the commentators. We spent another 20 minutes working out what to do, and then we went to the schools.

I got the document which was signed by the 11 team principals so we can say that an agreement has been made regarding testing for 2006.

This wasn't a walk in the park. Everyone worked very hard trying to move as few students as possible. All the principals worked together to solve any problems.

We have to be competing with other sports like golf, tennis, table tennis, football but bridge has its attractions. It stimulates the mind and facilitates a great deal of social interaction. We want to go into the schools and say to the principals 'bridge is a game just like chess' that can stimulate students to think analytically and to develop his or her mental skills. We will send bridge teachers into schools.

We look at history, ... We look at counts. We look at where schools are in terms of staffing. We make phone calls to schools. I also bring in e-mails from principals regarding requests. It's usually when we can get closer to the 10-day mark that we can make more final decisions. That's not to say we won't make some decisions. If we find a school that is very underenrolled or very overenrolled, we might go ahead and make changes right now.

With so many external pressures, heads and principals will need to delegate more authority and leadership teams will grow in importance.

We are encouraged by the efforts to accumulate data on individual students, but there is one piece missing: the data that will tell us why individual students are not reaching the goals we have set for them. That piece is key for principals and their staff to make a positive impact on their students.

This way, there will be some transition, and new principals will have input on budgets and what's going on at the schools next year, and the schools will get a chance to get to know them.

The role of heads and principals has changed enormously in the last decade, and it will continue to evolve as schools and colleges receive more autonomy, extended schools come into being and collaboration becomes more necessary,

The skills, principals and techniques that are used to build data warehouses can be used to very good effect in the MDM arena. In actual effect, most data warehouses have at least solved the first part of the problem, which is getting to see what's out there, because you have brought it all into one place.

That's just common sense. That is definitely one of the working principals in guiding us.

This is probably the greatest amount of change since I've been in the organization. Not allowing a school to play up without a vote by the principals has caused a lot of this change. It's funny; at one time schools would fight to change districts.

This is an area where we know if we build school cultures and communities of learning and we provide resources to attract teachers and retain them - and it's not only money, but money is one of those elements - if we provide excellent principals and terrific leadership at schools, students will benefit.

They're very sincere and want to improve the process. We want to take a look at the four-year plans and how they're being used. We're going to be having conversations with middle school principals very soon, because that's when they start, in the eighth grade.

Although there are countless tangents that a career in the building arts can take, it is nonetheless most unusual for a major architectural practice to emerge once a firm's principals are well into what is loosely called middle age.

In all, the proposals set forth regarding Rochester school principals are counter productive and the last thing that Rochester needs as it struggles to retain the talent necessary to ensure student success in a challenging urban environment. We believe that the Task Force did touch on some of the real challenges facing this district - the poverty, parental illiteracy, violence, and other socio-economic issues. Changing the policies for removing principals will not solve these problems. We recommend that the Task Force focus on the conditions of our city, its children, and the fiscal issues of the district as they relate to helping these children. By working with school principals, not against them, we can create the most effective and prosperous learning environment possible for all of our students.

I know principals all over the state are very concerned about participation in this new program.

If we thought we would have a problem in terms of security, we would never do that. We felt it was not a problem. But at the secondary level, we (still) have people there.

I just wanted the principals and the schools to feel they could enforce dress codes.

I put together a meeting with all of the disaffiliated principals and we reached an agreement that they will be marching in our Labor Day Parade, ...
