The Plano Chamber of Commerce is bringing back the Principal for a Day program this fall in partnership with the Plano Works Leadership Foundation, PISD Education Foundation and Plano ISD.
The program aims to provide business and community leaders “with a unique opportunity to experience public education through the eyes of a campus principal.”
“Principal for a Day is about creating meaningful connections between business and education,” said Kelle Marsalis, president and CEO of the Plano Chamber. “By giving community leaders a firsthand look at the realities of school leadership, we can build stronger partnerships that support student success and strengthen our community for years to come.”
Ideal applicants include C-suite executives, senior-level managers, business owners, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders, according to a news release.
Applications are open now and close July 31. Selected participants will be notified during the first week in September. A virtual kickoff meeting will take place in the weeks prior to the event on October 1. Participants will do either a full or partial school day on October 1, followed by an optional After Class Reception at the Robinson Fine Arts Center.
