Response Notes

Responsive to this request, and per clarification regarding the availability of data due to the change in applicant management systems last year, below are counts of qualified applicants for principal and assistant principal positions for the current school year to date where screening has been completed, as well as the prior three school years. Please note, this reflects the numbers of qualified applications, not distinct staff/candidates if an individual applied more than once.
