Supporting Schools' Focus on Education
The purpose of schools is to educate their students, yet we know that countless other daily operational issues compete for school principals’ time and attention. School Boards can also be distracted from their core focus on governance. The significant demands on schools to develop staff, make commercial decisions, manage risk and respond to contenious issues – all while delivering the highest quality education – are disrupted by adverse consequences when things go wrong.
