Must meet all the criteria to be a principal.
Wonder how many current principals wouldn't get the job if they had to reapply. 50%?? More? Less??

The eligibility criteria have four pou. To be successful, applicants must meet all the requirements set out in all four pou. All pou are equally important and support each other.
At the top of each pou is a description of the main competencies for that pou.
Each pou then has specific experience criteria that applicants must meet.
Each pou also has commitment criteria where applicants must show how they are committed to certain important concepts or actions.
In applying the criteria, boards should keep in mind that not everyone has the same opportunities or pathways to apply for their first principal post, and that some skills can
be learned on the job.
