Principals who deal with student discipline need to be fair and consistent.

Dealing with Student Discipline will focus on specific strategies to deal with students, teachers and parents.
Principals who deal with student discipline need to be fair and consistent and must have the skills to communicate the disciplinary action to everyone involved. Even when the correct criteria is met the principal may face criticism. Some of the criticism is unavoidable but the principal must make the best call that she can make.
