Maggie Mayfield, an elementary school principal in the upscale suburbs of San Diego, likes to do the right thing – for her students and, after her marriage takes a hit, for herself as well. What’s wrong with that? To keep her cash-strapped school afloat, Maggie says yes to a sweet deal from Silicon Valley’s hottest for-profit education company. They’ll provide enough funding so that Maggie can keep her science, art and PE teachers in exchange for some dopey beta-test program backed by handsome CEO Danny Z. No layoffs! Happy kids! Professionally, everything’s flourishing. Personally, the right things are tingling – Maggie can’t resist Danny Z’s magnetism. But as the school year continues, Maggie senses that she might have been duped. As things take a turn for the worse, Maggie and her BFF assistant, Diane, must keep things good – by going a little bad. Smart, funny and unpredictable, The Very Principled Maggie Mayfield is a comedy of friendship, class warfare, good intentions and occasionally necessary unprincipled behaviour.
