Abstract

This case was written for graduate students, specifically for individuals seeking school principal licensure. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced school organizations, particularly building and district leaders, to modify and alter the traditional educational model. School district leaders hosted virtual town hall meetings to receive community input to determine the safest option to deliver instruction to students. Educational leaders have endured challenges from stakeholder groups that pertain to students returning to campus amid a pandemic. Future school leaders can use this case to examine their knowledge of case law, student discipline, and navigating a complex scenario due to COVID-19.
