Districts, when you have an effective principal, leave them in their school. Give them a multi year contract and let them be amazing. They bring consistency, support, high expectations, improved morale, and appreciation to their staff. This creates a culture of excellence.

@DrBradJohnson How long would you suggest that an ineffective principal, with teachers transferring and the culture/environment in full erosion, in a low SES school with a great need of standards and structure, be left to “get better”?

@BillDeYoung @DrBradJohnson Not left, but led to get better. They need a mentor who will be there twice a week to help implement drastic changes. Do that and give them a year to grow and then move them on if there has been no improvement. Everyone needs a chance to learn and grow.
