The Strategic School Funding for Results (SSFR) interviews began in November of 2009 with focus group interviews of the Superintendent's Cabinet. Individual principal interviews were conducted between January 15 and January 22 of 2010. Two elementary, two middle-, and one high school principal were interviewed. The AIR/PLP (American Institutes for Research/Pivot Learning Partners) team asked district leaders to select principals that they felt had a good understanding of the current system and who could provide the authors with some thoughtful perspectives on how to evaluate its advantages and disadvantages. The principals in this report are by no means a random sample of individuals, and may not be representative of all principals in the district. This technical appendix presents the protocols that guided the interviews and focus groups.
