Duties
The primary responsibility of the floating assistant principal is to provide administrative and instructional leadership support across multiple school buildings, based on the evolving needs of the District. This is a floating assignment, and the individual in this role will not be permanently assigned to a single building. Instead, they will be deployed to various schools as needed to provide coverage and support.
The floating assistant principal serves as an extension of the building principal or as dual support to the assigned assistant principal, depending on the specific circumstances. A significant portion of their time will be dedicated to providing administrative coverage in the absence of school-based leadership or when additional support is required. The floating assistant principal may also be assigned to cover for an absent assistant principal when necessary.
In addition to coverage responsibilities, the floating assistant principal may assist with the supervision of instruction, the development of professional competencies, and the coordination of student services. The role also includes supporting access to rigorous course content for all students and contributing to job-embedded professional development for licensed staff. Additional responsibilities include supporting the day-to-day management of communications, personnel, student discipline, services and resources, facilities, and school records.
