Board considers teacher-leader stipends and retired-principal interim models
Summary
Board members discussed alternatives to immediately hiring a full-time principal, including appointing teacher leaders with small stipends, temporarily assigning an existing staff member, or bringing in a retired principal part-time.
Several options to provide leadership short-term were discussed: temporarily assigning an existing staff member ("get Jackie or we'll temporarily assign her as a customer"), recruiting a retired principal to work part-time, or funding teacher leaders at each site with a small stipend so classroom teachers remain in instruction while taking on leadership duties.
One speaker cautioned that retired principals may not be as invested, while others argued an interim could act as a trial period and later be considered for the permanent role. The board agreed to continue exploring options and to narrow a few candidates for further review.
