School principals are at a breaking point. Their roles now extend far beyond education—managing refugee support, mental health crises, and even food programs—all without additional resources. In this episode, we dive into the overwhelming demands placed on school administrators and the unrealistic expectations that keep piling up. Guest Chris Hicks , Chair or the Council of School Leaders with the Manitoba Teachers Society, shares firsthand experiences of navigating these challenges while trying to maintain a functional school environment.He explores how schools have become the frontline of social services and the toll this takes on school leaders. We talk about the growing pressure on principals, the lack of structural support, and the reality that many feel overwhelmed and burnt out.
