Scenario:

The superintendent/principal of a small rural district in the upper Midwest relies on his skilled and dedicated teachers to provide a top-flight education to students.

One morning, he receives a voice mail message intended for one of the teachers from a staffing firm that suggests she may be seeking a new position.

The superintendent wants to do everything possible to retain her and wonders if it’s appropriate to broach the subject, having intercepted the call intended for the teacher.
