Last year, the district threatened to make our principal's position to be half-time. I created this video, "One Principal, Two Schools," to convince the school board that this was a bad idea.

Now it's July and we find out that our principal has been relocated to another school. Next year will be my eighth year at my school, and the new principal will be my fourth principal. How crazy is that?
Our school: full of English learners, surrounded by gang activity, working hard to improve each year. The school district is like the military, deploying its soldiers wherever they want. But they don't look at school culture, or even the importance of continuity. We're working in the trenches here. It would be nice if you gave us some kind of stability.
Just sayin'.
