Having a principal and a "COO" is the right way to go, if the COO can handle budgeting, accounting, as well as the facility. The title for the new position is director of business and operations. To me that would entail both day to day operations as well as finances, including compliance, tax. It should also entail strategic planning for the future as the school grows. This person should have a background in this type of role. Not finance as IB or hedge funds, but understanding what goes into the role

Now if the person will just do day to day, who is doing financial. The principal? Or like legacy schools will they hire someone else?

You are correct. There is a definite need for professional management within our schools. However, the resume of the person highlights very little experience in professional financial management.

each school need an executive director, someone who is the corporate head, handling both day to day and strategic planning for the future. This should be someone from a finance/accounting background, not director of student activities.

What worried me was that Heatid said we will do it different and better and it sounds like much of the same.
