2003 House Bill 4714 ↩

Senate Roll Call 519: Passed

To allow some of the funding currently appropriated for professional development and education programs for teachers go instead to a “principal leadership academy,” which the Department of Education would be required to establish. The academy would train principals in “strategies for increasing parental involvement, strategies for engaging community support and involvement, creative problem-solving, financial decision-making, management rights and techniques, and other strategies for improving school leadership to achieve better pupil performance”.
