Leland adds assistant principal

Leland Public School will be adding an administrator for the 2024-25 school year.

The Board of Education voted unanimously Monday to add an assistant principal position for the upcoming school year. The addition would address several major goals, Superintendent Stephanie Long said.

“One (goal) is to provide a grow your own pathway for aspiring principals and school leaders,” she said. “With the educator shortage, it was really important to us to provide leadership and advancement opportunities for our staff who want to gain experience and develop their skills to be able to stay here as they pursue their career goals.”
