2010 Principal Shadow Day luncheon set for Thursday

The 2010 Principal Shadow Day luncheon is scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7, at the Ballroom at Twelve Atlantic Station. Participating in the luncheon will be Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed; Sam A. Williams, president of the Metro Atlanta Chamber; Dr. Beverly L. Hall, Superintendent of Atlanta Public Schools; and Gordon Schmidt, group vice president of Target.

This is the 11th year that the Atlanta Partners for Education has sponsored the Principal Shadow Day event, which culminates a day in which more than 100 local business and community leaders will go to Atlanta Public Schools elementary, middle and high schools to “shadow” a principal. The event also includes principals participating in the Executive for a Day program, in which principals go to the offices of the business and organization partners associated with their schools to “shadow” an executive.
