Interviewing for the Principalship

Abstract

Donna Rensick is a candidate for the Southside High School principalship. When she arrives for her interview, she learns more details concerning issues the school has been experiencing, including: racial strife prompted by changing demographics, sagging achievement scores, low teacher morale, a poorly maintained building, and a leadership void. At the conclusion of the interview, she is asked how she would improve the school's learning environment and whether she is capable of accepting this challenge.
