The morale of most of our principals is at an all time low due to disparity in salaries and the fact that AFT literally runs our school district. The union has ensured that several board members listen to them instead of working with teachers. The school board is allowed to micromanage. Fiscal decisions are unsound. School board members treat administrators with a serious lack of respect.
Teacher unions are so strong that teachers come before students, resulting in poor decisions.
There are times when the district is not supportive of the individual school's needs. This has been true in recent years and I know that it is due to the budget crunch. This is inclusive of people and others as well. They do listen but the bottom line is money. Parity for administrative salaries is an issue that is in litigation.
