I have spent a lot of time this month on lunch duty, duty, duty. Just about 30 minutes a day but it's easy and part of the job!! I went to the April board meeting where we found out several more teachers are retiring, and more about budget cuts. I also had my final evaluation. I did not get recommended for rehire, surprise, surprise!! No big deal, we have a business to run and I will run it!!! Mr. Roch arranged for me to take two professional days so that I could work some hours in so, I was able to attend some great things. The annual IDEA state panel met in Tucumcari so I got to see how that was ran. On that same day, the new elementary music teacher made a decision and we took her around to look for houses and look at the town!! In the meantime, Mr. Roch got a call about the HS principal, so he had to head back!! We were also dealing with some ISS issues and what they eat there. I went back to the office to wait for Mr. Roch. When he came back he told me that the interim HS principal had just resigned, walked out, no notice. The BLT(building leadership team), had made him mad and so he just walked out!!!
On the days when Mr. Roch is not in the office I have been working with the technology department on inventory. We worked on Thursday a few hours getting ready for a big day of inventory. On Friday we went to the elementary school and invetoried, renamed, and added printers to more than 75 computers. Whew! We then went to the HS and did the same thing to the mobile labs. We worked for 10 hours on inventory!!! Anyhoo, I have one more professional day for inventory, which they need the help, but have learned little about being a principal. I am just excited that I have something to fall back on, flipping burgers!!!
