You must be prepared to handle frequent and robust challenges from families and panel members while maintaining professionalism and clarity under pressure. Success in this role depends on an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of all relevant school admissions codes policies and procedures and the ability to articulate these accurately and persuasively to diverse audiences.
