Can Someone Please Help Me!
One day, during the month of September 2007, I was attending a meeting that was required for all Title I principals in the district. The school system was about to be involved in one of the most comprehensive Federal audits that the district had seen in over 20 years. This audit would have huge implications if not executed properly by all stakeholders, school and district administrators. There were individual from the state department, central office administrators, as well as all elementary and secondary Title I principals. There were numerous federal mandates that had to be implemented and the daylong meeting was arduous. Many programmatic requirements, procedures and timelines were needed to be completed within six months. At the time, I had been a principal in the district for over four and a half years and I was comfortable with Title I procedural guidelines. I had honed my skills on Title I concerns by asking questions, trial and error, from fellow principals, as well as specific questions of district and state personnel of how to get things done efficiently and effectively among the myriad of statues and procedural guidelines. I was also selected by the district to be part of a comprehensive monitoring committee that would help to prepare for this audit. While attending this meeting, there was one principal who was sitting in the back of the conference room. She had a puzzled face and raised her hand, interrupting the state representative responsible for training the principals, and said, "I'm sorry but I am a newly appointed principal and this is my first year as a principal in a Title I school. I am sure there are others in the room too. I must admit that I am completely overwhelmed with these additional responsibilities and I need help understanding from those who have done this before. Honestly, I feel like I am drowning..."
