  Case: Unavailable Principal
My school has a new principal; she is only new to the building, not to the position of being an administrator. We also have a brand new vice-principal who has never been in an administrative role. Our principal is never at the school. She is constantly at meetings at the school board office, visiting other schools in the county, or at trainings. In addition, this principal is never at any of the after school events: dances, sporting events, plays, or curricular events. The teachers at the school are having a hard time with this because we are used to a very involved, visible administrator that only left because she was promoted to a Director position. Is it because we are used to an administrator that was always doing things above and beyond or should our current principal be more involved and visible in our school?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think this is an in between answer. You probably shouldn't expect the above and beyond, but they should be visible regularly more than not so. The whole point in having one is so that you have someone you can rely on to reach out to when you need guidance, and that should be available at least a couple full days a week.
