  However, state law allows school districts to offer principals contracts for up to three years, according to Jim Puckett, executive director of the Georgia Association of Educational Leaders.
  
  As many as 30 percent of the nation's principals are eligible to retire, Puckett said, and the applicant pool for experienced and qualified candidates is shrinking.
  
  That increases competition among school boards, and as a result, the average annual salary for a principal in the United States has risen from $86,452 to more than $97,000 the past six years.
  
  Principals also face longer work hours and increased pressure to meet academic goals under laws like the federal No Child Left Behind Act, Puckett said.
  ...
  All those factors make it more difficult to attract good candidates, Puckett said, especially if a school is looking to compete nationally.
  
  "If you're going to ask an educator to uproot a family and move from out-of-state into a new school district, a single-year contract might not be attractive," Puckett said.

  The legislature removed any employment protections for the state's administrators, said Jim Puckett, GAEL's executive director.
  
  When local school boards aren't required to give a reason, they're rarely willing to explain, Puckett said.
  
  "Certainly the board doesn't want to have to defend itself in a lawsuit, so they have to determine the balance between risking going to court or the public relations issue because parents and the community are worried about what's going on.But typically, boards will err on the legal side," Puckett said.
