I would replace the principal with a person with more experience with high school students and eliminate SMI. Coming from Castle Park Middle School, Mrs. Sandoval-Johnson doesn't have the experience needed to run a high school. Our school has taken a massive turn for the worst since she took over and she doesnt know the proper methods of disciplining and motivating high school students. She is also very impersonal, in the four months that she's been principal, I've only seen her on campus about five times. Another example of her impersonality was in the beginning of the school year, my mother tried to talk to her about a problem with my schedule that nobody else was helping with. After a week and a half of trying to get help from someone in the main office, Mr. Garnica-Mendoza finally responded and took care of the problem. Then, a few days later, Mrs. Sandoval-Johnson finally called me into her office; however, the problem had already been solved. Eliminating SMI is the other change I would like to make to our school. It's an extra hour to each class that the majority of teachers just waste by putting on a movie that has no correlation to the course. It was originally intended to reward students with good grades, and help those with lower grades. Yet when Mrs. Sandoval-Johnson took over, she felt it was best to keep all students in during the extra hour and now all students suffer.
