Who appoints principals over there? Here the elected school board of trustees appoints principals and the principal and the board of trustees appoint the rest of the staff. All the principals and teachers in the whole country are paid centrally by the government. The board of trustees can fire too but teachers are one of the few groups in the country with a strong union (doctors and nurses being the other notable ones) so the board needs to make sure the follow all processes and proceedures with great care.
