Role of the Principal
Principal leadership is the foundation for a successful PASS partnership. Under the PASS model, the school principal plays the following role:
  • Work with the CEO to develop a PASS business plan and budget
  • Maintain a focus on instructional leadership
  • Document history of school and changes that impact PASS potential
  • Be open to and a catalyst for change efforts
  • Work closely and openly with CEO
  • Keep school goals and mission in mind at all times
  • Reexamine, modify, and adapt existing School Improvement Plan
  • Encourage and market program to faculty, parents, and community
  • Complete monitoring, annual and budget reports
  • Access matching funds from state
  • Attend annual meeting of PASS principals
  • Commit to remain at the school for three years

I have found the way I handle my day-to-day operation of the school is much more efficient and productive because of the advice and suggestions I receive from Kevin Twomey, CEO, The St. Joe Company.
