The P.E.I. Home and School Federation wants more full-time principals in Island schools.
Currently, if a school has less than 200 students, it is not allotted a full-time principal.
Instead, the people in those roles have to split their time between the administrative duties and other jobs this means a principal will also end up teaching class.
The resolution was adopted by the Home and School Federation at its meeting in September. The federation says the change would impact about 19 English-language schools on the Island.
