My former employer Harry & David filed for Chapter 11 protection; let's hope the company survives.

Because of union contracts, principals are almost never fired, so why should the AP be shocked when they are shuffled around with "turnaround" models?
Arnold's situation is typical for principals in several states who were removed last summer under the federal School Improvement Grant program, intended to reform the nation's worst schools. The most popular way for schools to qualify for a slice of the $3 billion available was pick a reform plan that called for replacing what was considered failed leadership - but many of those principals are still running schools.
You can't fire them, unlike teachers, but even then, as in WCSD, teachers are merely shuffled around to other schools under "turnaround models."
Federal law doesn't supercede union contracts. And, as the article notes, rural districts have a hard enough time recruiting principals.
