The process at Shayne Elementary is one the district will duplicate in each of the district's 18 principal hires for next school year— and from now on — after incoming Director of Schools Shawn Joseph made changes to the way the heads of schools are hired.
For Shayne Elementary, parents and staff will have the chance to serve on the panel that interviews candidates for the job. Those panels include central office and human resources staff. In the case of a high school hiring, students will also be included in the mix.
