Kerry has been a temporary vice principal on and off for the past few years. This was typically precipitated by some sort of illness in either the vice principal or principal position at Frost Road. They aren't able to bring in someone to fill the position right away and when it's an illness they don't know how long they will need someone so they try to fill it from within. She had almost three full years experience in this temporary role and felt it was time to apply for a permanent role. She was successful on her first attempt and the hope was that she would be able to have one more year at Frost Road before being moved to a new school.
Things were looking good right up until the end of August when she got the call from her district principal and was informed that she was going to be moving to Hazelgrove Elementary. This was a big announcement and probably better that she didn't have too much time to think about it. It could have been much worse. The new school is less than 15 minutes away and because it's so big she gets to be 80% vice principal which is good experience for getting her own school as principal in the next couple years. She said her goodbyes and set up her new office. Since I'm writing this in December I can say that it's been a lot more work than her last school. I think a principalship in a smaller school will be easier. :)
