[Mpls] Re: School Issues

[Pat Bohn]

    While principals do have a contract, they are assigned to buildings.   Sometimes the staff and parents can influence that decision, but not very often.  Principals' contract rights/seniority
do effect if they retain a job as a principal. This is especially important in years like this when schools are closing and there are more principals and assistant principals then there are
positions.
