Principal — overview & daily loop
Role: principal. You oversee academics, attendance, messages, exams, leave, and leadership Admin Settings. You do not get the school_admin Approvals queue, and you do not get Account Section (that is for accountant / school_admin).
Compared to school_admin: Employees and Students menus are read-only (list / class-wise only — no Add Employee, no enroll/photo/roll tools). Deep CRUD belongs to School Admin.
VP twin: Vice Principal is almost the same; VP also has Teacher Salary.
