Principal for a Day – Understanding Schools

Neil Heinen:

When all is said and done, there may be no more important relationship in our system of public education than a principal and their school. The impact a principal has on students, teachers, staff, parents and learning is undeniable. And the good ones make their schools good.

Madison has many good ones. And understanding the role principals play is an important function of the "Principal for a Day" program, now in its third year as part of the Foundation for Madison's Public Schools. The nearly 60 business and civic leaders who participated in this year's event have a better understanding of both the role principals play and the current state of our schools.

Which leads us to Adopt-a-School. With the support of CUNA Mutual, businesses can now form a relationship with an individual school to help sustain and extend the excellence of our schools.
