If you're on this page, there's a good chance you've already seen our
page on principal contracts and the pay gap between principals' and teachers' salaries for the 2018-19 school year. If you haven't, go give it a read. It provides the background and context of this survey. It also lets you know what we're working on to keep supporting principals.
We know as it is right now, regardless of the pay gap, we're in danger of losing great principals to churn and burnout. If you're a principal, you know what you do, but do you know just how much influence you have? If you haven't seen it yet, watch this short video below and then check out some of our survey results.
We know veteran principals are experiencing churn and burnout, but many of them are in for the long haul. The danger of this wage compression with an ever-increasing workload is the pipeline of passionate and purposeful leaders dries up. As you've read the quotes on this page, that's the real danger.
For example, check out this quote from one of the instructors for a principal prep program in our state. The instructor shared their story, but asked to remain anonymous.
