Each school building needs a principal.
"Strong, effective leadership is best achieved by the assignment of a full-time principal in each elementary and middle-level building."
The above statement has been one of MESPA's Legislative Priorities for the last several years -- and is supported by AdvancED and the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (www.advanc-ed.org)
