"I am newer to the education industry so, at this time, I would not feel like I have the expertise to bring up my concerns about the policy. If I do have concerns, I will have a one on one conversation with my supervisor."

"Over my years as an attendance clerk, I have never come across a policy that I disagreed with enough to react to it. The school board is very thoughtful when creating policy and I fully trust they are putting the student's interest first."

There is always a moment in our jobs when we come across decisions or policy with which we may not agree. What is your reaction in such situations? Take an example of a situation where you had a disagreement regarding some school policy and how you reacted in that situation. Did you argue or did you act wisely in that particular case? What was the result? Try to avoid exhibiting any negative expression.

"Although I usually comply with all the policies of the schools I work with, there was one time when I didn't agree with how our school was handling a new anti-bullying policy. The new policy still did not include cyber-bullying. I discussed my concerns, professionally, with the principal and she chose to make some amendments."

Rachelle's Feedback
Good approach! The interviewer should appreciate that although you may not understand the reasoning behind it, you respect that the decisions of the district are multi-faceted.
