Psychological screening should also be required of WCSD's principal candidates. Of course, the cronies will be able to jettison this long, convoluted process demonstrated by this flowchart.

They are pulling similar crap with the teachers. Now that they have been exposed as already gutting the "tenure" process by making all new hires one-year-only contracted workers, the district has decided to make sure NOBODY on the outside knows the duration of the jobs being advertised.
