Additional Discussion/Questions

Wes: Can you (Julie) give us some insight into the process when Principals are moved?

Julie: Usually Principals provide feedback to the board about whether they would like to stay or are ready for a change. Sometimes Elem. Principals want to try other schools or move up to middle schools. This creates a domino effect, and the spots need to be filled. Julie was very happy at Silver Mesa, the board informed her that she was going to be placed at Altara.
