Community and Business Leaders Will Serve
DALLAS–The Dallas Independent School District will host Principal for a Day, Thursday, October 18, as community and business leaders greet students and make the morning announcements at more than half of the district's schools.
Principal for a Day is a project of Dallas ISD that brings community and business leaders into schools across the district. The program is designed to increase awareness and understanding among individuals in the private sector of the strengths and challenges of schools in the district. It also demonstrates the private sector's commitment to ensuring a quality public education for all students, and form ongoing partnerships between individuals, businesses and Dallas ISD.
An average day includes meetings with faculty to learn about the day-to-day operations of a school. Guest principals also might teach a class, meet with the student council, attend student performances, read to students or lead a class assembly.
Program participants are matched and assigned to either an elementary, middle, or high school.
