Licensed for Use by Arkansas State University
Key Topics
local politics, school board politics, superintendent conflict, school improvement, and ELL support
Description
Navigating local politics, school board politics, pressure from the superintendent, and the general pressures of school improvement can be very challenging and emotionally draining. This film explores all of these aspects but also adds the sensitive element of community demographics that are in conflict with the political ideations of the local leaders. In this film, the principal finds herself stuck between a county commissioner focused on deporting illegal immigrants from the community, a superintendent in a contract year, and a community of Latino families who are looking to her for leadership to help their children in the ELL classroom.
