Operations The principal oversees the day-to-day operations of the school as a whole. Ultimately, anything that goes wrong can be traced back to his action or inaction. Therefore, the principal must be present in hallways and classrooms whenever possible, as well as keeping in contact with appropriate personnel or reading daily briefs regarding special programs or guests on campus, staff or parent issues, and emergencies that have occurred.

Standards The responsibility for setting or communicating standards of achievement, professionalism and goals rests on his shoulders. The principal must lead by example and clearly make expectations known for the campus to succeed. State, district and campus standards must be incorporated into a plan for campus success. The principal often achieves this with the help of a campus representative team, which meets to create the plan then review it periodically.

He might choose to hire staff with the help of an interview team, but ultimately, almost all staff positions are filled based on his final decision and approval. The principal must then supervise and observe the staff in their roles with students on the campus to be sure standards are met. Periodic evaluations of staff must be conducted and documented. The principal handles staffing issues because of personality, student population numbers or unacceptable performance.

Reports Paperwork related to the operation of the school also takes up a portion of the principal's day. He manages budget guidelines passed down from district or state boards. Decisions are required regarding how allocated funds are spent. Reports regarding attendance, future staffing allocations, demographics, supplies, curriculum, scheduling, discipline and performance data require review, sometimes disaggregating and often, action.

Communications The principal provides communication to parents and the community regarding the school. For the public, he might be the face of the school and provide its first impression to others. To the staff, he is the liaison between district or state mandates and their day-to-day actions. Staff development decisions often require his direct input, so he must be aware of the needs of his staff. He must interpret mandates as they apply to his school and act accordingly. The principal must also occasionally handle disgruntled parents, students, public or staff, and make decisions regarding what is best for all concerned, particularly the students.
