Abstract:

Assistant principal Laura Whittier is a member of a selection committee to choose a replacement for one of the three assistant principals at her high school. The selection committee appointed by the principal includes the other assistant principal as the chair, the band director, the special education department chair, and the physical education department chair who is also the hockey coach. The group’s task is to develop the steps in a selection process that will provide three semi-finalists for the principal to interview in mid-June. It is now April. The political dynamics as well as the group members’ limited experience and lack of knowledge about selection procedures complicate the task. However, all but Laura seem to regard their efforts as successful.
