This week, in our twice monthly series, Matters of Principal, we continue the discussion regarding the school leader’s decisions around the staffing process. We look closely at factors such as staff preferences and abilities; aligning staff with the needs of the school; and, gaining or losing staff members during the transfer process.  Once again, we speak to being transparent and timely in communicating with staff, as well as being honest with your own principal colleagues throughout the entire staffing process.
