On the recordMarch 4, 1999
There are too many good ideas that Republicans and Democrats share in common for us not to make significant progress on the issue that is on the minds of most parents, perhaps, more than any other--the education of their children. While Senator Kerry and I will not be introducing our amendment today to this legislation, I think it is important that we take this opportunity to raise the issue of principal training and development. After speaking with educators, parents, principals, and teachers in both Oregon and in Massachusetts, it became clear to Senator Kerry and I that our principals are too often not prepared to address the needs of our children. As Senator Kerry has said many times, we can't expect our schools to be well managed without good managers. It is time to provide our States and school districts with the resources to train our principals as managers.
