School principals are hired by each local board under guidance from the SLAM Foundation. Each principal is responsible for all aspects of day-to-day administration of their school within the scope of the board’s operating policy and in compliance with all district, state, and federal guidelines. Principals make all school-based decisions, establishing and implementing procedures for the day-to-day operations of the school including procedures for curriculum and instruction, classroom management, discipline, faculty and staff evaluation, data analysis, testing, support services, parental communication, professional development, discipline, community outreach, oversight of facilities and internal financial controls, etc. The principals report to the local board on the school’s operations and finances as well as to the SLAM Foundation board.
Each school principal forms part of the Coalition of Principals. This professional learning community meets monthly to share best practices, progress monitor data, design professional development activities, and cohesively align curriculum and instruction among all school sites. The corporation also organizes leadership gatherings, conferences and coalition meetings for school leaders and board members to come together to discuss their needs and share ideas and strategize how to address those needs and share best practices that have already proven successful.
