Form of workThis position is for a half-time principal at our Umpire K-12 Campus at CRSD. The campus has about 95 students K-12. The position could be half-time as a principal, but we will also consider applicants willing to be half-time teacher in addition to half-time principal. The principal salary is $68,664.00 and the teacher salary is $50,000, so the total salary under the principal/teacher option would be half of those two combined.

We will also consider non-traditional applicants who may need a licensure waiver or who are willing to enroll in in the non-traditional principal pathway for licensure.
