Partnership network principals are responsible for meeting all obligations as described in the LA Unified School Leadership Framework, including building a culture of learning and growth, overseeing classroom instruction, managing school operations, engaging families and community, and owning the growth and development of adults in the school community. Our principals are all part of a professional learning community that emphasizes instructional leadership and cross‐school learning. Leading a school in the Partnership network means that our principals and their staff have access to our robust team of support‐providers in areas from Literacy and Math instruction to school budgets and teacher recruitment.
