The Brief

Wednesday was back-to-school for dozens of business leaders across Volusia County.

The annual Principal for a Day program was held at schools throughout the county, and FOX 35's John Brown visited Sweetwater Elementary in Port Orange.

What is the Principal for a Day program?

Local perspective:

The program allows area business and civic leaders to tour nearly 70 schools to see how schools operate and the challenges they face daily. It is also a chance for the schools to get engaged with business partners to make sure everyone works together to make the community stronger.
