The legislature just killed an education reform bill for EBR giving principals

budget control over their schools. One of the main reasons given for defeating the proposal was because principals aren't trained to do budgets, and they aren't qualified to do so.

Fine, but then I read this this morning:

quote:

Lee High’s new principal, Nan McCann, is already the principal at Baton Rouge Magnet High and will divide her time between the two schools.

The school system announced her taking over Lee on Tuesday, but she said she accepted the added duties a couple of weeks ago. She said she’s already hired several teachers and developed the school’s budget.

Is this an outlier or is this the norm? When it comes to EBR schools it's hard to tell.

It is going to be fabulous.
