Somebody's cheating on the standardized tests. The principal wants to fire the new fifth grade teacher. Ambitious parents are frantic to get their kids into the gifted and talent program. The school psychologist is way too eager to label kids ADD. All of these frustrations literally come to a head when the principal gets fatally bashed in the skull with a spelling bee trophy.

Other than that "principal getting skull bashed in" part, the rest sounds like a perfectly normal day in the public school system!

Deb, my wife wrote a mystery (sadly unpublished) back in the 80s in which the hated principal of a school (any resemblance to her then principal was not a coincidence) was found stabbed to death with a No. 2 pencil sticking out of his chest.

The Pencil Case! Time for a Kindle edition!
Dead, with a no. 2 pencil stuck in his chest, clutching a sheaf of bloodstained standardized tests and teacher evaluations...but which one is missing??
Wha--? Jackie wrote a book? This needs to be published.
