A principal will undoubtedly encounter issues concerning employees’ legal rights. Several of those issues could include sexual harassment, collective bargaining, contracts, freedom of expression, social media, incompetence, and termination. While dealing with those issues and the law, the principal must also safeguard the values of democracy, equity, and diversity within the school. It is imperative that the principal build a cooperative school culture within the framework of these dynamics.
