• The Office of the School Chiefs
     
    The Office of the School Chiefs provides supervision of school principals that ensures the alignment and implementation of goals and objectives with District priorities and the District Comprehensive Improvement Plans (DCIP). Additionally, support is provided to ensure the development of instructional management systems tailored to the needs of students within the school setting. To enhance the leadership capacity of principals, monthly meetings are held for all principals to focus on transformational leadership decision-making characteristics designed to improve student achievement, with a particular emphasis on literacy and school-level decision-making related to operational issues. Monthly first-year principals' meetings were designed to build leadership capacity, thereby improving instructional delivery, student achievement, parental involvement, and community partnerships. In summary, the main role and responsibility of school chiefs in the District is to support the work of schools and the development of professional learning communities within each school. These roles are designed to enhance student achievement through research-based instructional practices, with assessment for learning to serve as the foundation.
