School Principal Selection Eased In Senate Bill
KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky Senate has passed legislation that would give school superintendents a stronger role in choosing principals. The bill would let superintendents narrow the number of candidates for a principal's job to three finalists. School-based decision-making councils would have three weeks to choose from that list. If the council couldn't agree on a choice, the superintendent would select the principal. Senators on Tuesday attached the proposal to a House-passed measure that would designate the last Wednesday in August as Kentucky Literacy Day in public schools. The amended measure passed on a 19-14 vote. It now returns to the House, which will decide whether to accept the Senate changes
