Principal Leadership Exchange Project
Where Business Leaders and Principals exchange valuable ideas and experiences to promote public education…

What is the Principal Leadership Exchange Project?
The Principal Leadership Exchange Project encourages the private sector to take an active leadership role in public education through “exchanging,” their leadership role with a Duval County Principal. The goal of the program is for community and business stakeholders to translate their one-day experience into a long-term relationship with the school, thus supporting the overall academic achievement of students. 

Who participates in the Principal Leadership Exchange Project?
Committed business leaders who wish to transform their passion for education into action through partnering with a public school, and have expertise, interests and willingness to leverage professional and personal resources to support public education.

What is the schedule and time commitment for the Principal Leadership Exchange Project?
Once an individual submits an application to participate in the Principal Leadership Exchange Project, applications will be reviewed, and if approved (based on criteria and availability), the individual will be matched with a school.  A debriefing session will be held the afternoon of the program where DCPS Executive staff will be eager to hear about the experiences of the day.  The Principal Leadership Exchange Project is a full-day experience created for business leaders and principals to “exchange” ideas and experiences. The pay-off is invaluable and rewarding for everyone involved. 

Following the school visit, it is our hope that you and your colleagues will decide to engage in enhancing academic achievement through developing an on-going partnership with the school or school district.  If you are interested, please engage in a conversation with the school administrator.  You and the school leadership will work together to identify potential areas of collaboration and develop initiatives to help address the school needs and the needs of your organization.  The Department of Community and Family Engagement staff members are also available to assist.

May I choose which school to partner with?
Yes. We will make every attempt to match you with your requested school; however, please keep in mind that your first choice may not be available.  Some schools may not participate due to time conflicts or have prearranged their Principal Leadership Exchange partner for the event day. All of our schools have the ability to offer an extraordinary experience and opportunity for a lasting partnership.

How do I apply to participate in the Principal Leadership Exchange Project?
Simply complete the Business/Community Leader form.
