Abstract

In his book The Principal Michael Fullan stated, the principal's responsibilities have increased enormously over the last two decades. They are expected to run a smooth school; manage health, safety, and the building: innovate without upsetting anyone; connect with students and teachers; be responsive to parents and the community; answer to their districts, and above all deliver results.” At Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) in Virginia, Dr. Brendan Menuey and Evangeline Petrich both serve as executive principals; supporting, developing, and supervising principals whose responsibilities are as enormous as Fullan aptly describes.
