This study compiled original principal data versus turnaround principal data for three Louisiana Recovery school systems over three academic years (2006-2007, 2008- 2009, and 2010-2011). Academic achievement data was also compiled and analyzed for the same school systems over three academic years (2007, 2008-2009, and 2010 -2011). Data for the LHSGT focused on the four core content areas (Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and English), whereas the LHSWT focused on assessing students' abilities to demonstrate competency in persuasive writing. Although the District B School System had the lowest percentage of principals with advanced degrees, students in District B schools consistently performed better academically than students in the District A schools. Data was presented in time series charts to reflect changes in the passing rates. Statistical analysis was used to show the relationship that may exist between the original principal test scores and turnaround principal test scores measuring students' achievement on the math, social studies, science, and English/Language Arts Louisiana High School Graduation Test.

This story is the sequel to Freddy's long and dangerous journey home. During his odyssey, Freddy, the fun-loving sea otter, will meet a variety of creatures that will be charmed by his friendly and modest nature. Their endearing friendships are mutually respected and enjoyed. As with my stories, my primary purpose is to always include the following: family values, life-learning lessons and joyful endings. In short, my stories are uplifting and a joy to read. Freddy is a wholesome role model with qualities of honesty, integrity, caring and humility. He knows how to be a true friend. But like all living creatures in this world, Freddy has his lessons to learn. For one, he forgets that there is a fine line between boldness and recklessness. And each time he crosses that line, he finds himself in death-threatening encounters.
