Who do school principals report to?

As a school principal, you report to the school board if you work for a public school district. If you work for a private school, you likely report to a board of directors or board of trustees. School board members may visit your school to evaluate your performance, and you visit the school board offices for district-wide planning meetings. If parents, students, or teachers have issues with your work as a school principal, they can file complaints with the school board.
