My principal is retiring.
FUCK!!!!
This is the equivalent of a company being sold. New owners.
I really like my principal. She rocks. She made it worth it to work extra hard. When I have a reasonable boss, I am sooo willing to do a lot to get the job done.
The problem with getting a new principal at my current school is that I just have no idea who it could be and I work at a very demanding school. Even with a small class size, it takes total engagement every second of the day with total structure in order to have a calm and conductive learning environment. It would be miserable to get a mean principal on top of what can be a stressful environment just on a normal day.
I got in touch with my principal from last year right away. I really liked her, but I'm a bit unsure of how well she liked me. It's something that I think I could overcome, because I think it was probably a matter of circumstance more than anything. I was a middle of the year hire and the parents were already pretty disgruntled. Things were a little hairy with a few of them at first, but by the end of the year things had really turned around so I'm hopeful that she would remember that over those starting out hiccups.
It would be great to go back to my last campus. It had a good vibe and I liked the people. The parents can be a little more involved, but on the other hand... the parents are more involved. It's a double edged sword, I guess you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
Lots of staffing decisions in the coming months, so keep your fingers crossed for me. I need it!!
