In the fall of 2019, educators across the system applied to be considered for the KPDSB Vice-Principal Pool. In December 2021, in anticipation of open administrator positions and to help with succession planning, the Vice-Principal Pool advertised for new applicants. Last month, nineteen (19) staff across the system were interviewed to be considered for placement into the Vice-Principal Pool. After reference checks and a recommendation meeting, new candidates will be added to the pool.
While in the Vice-Principal Pool, educators participate in learning sessions to prepare them for the administrator role. The sessions include special education, operations, instructional leadership, Indigenous education, and more.
In December, vice principals across the system also had the opportunity to apply to the KPDSB Principal Pool. It is from this pool that vice principals can be placed into the role of principal. Interviews will occur at the beginning of March.
