This work delves into the experiences of Canadian and Mauritian principals faced with tensions―sometimes racial―regarding discipline. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSchool leaders have the potential to make valuable changes within their schools as their influence touches on all aspects of the school building and culture. Yet, often discipline presents a challenge for school leaders as it requires a certain degree of discretion, especially when examining the issue of racial discipline disparity gaps in schools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExploring both a Western and non-Western context, the opening chapters highlight the rigidity of behavioural policies and the desire to break from such neoliberal practices despite fears of repercussion in Mauritius. This is followed by an exploration of the decision-making of principals in Ontario and Nova Scotia in a Canadian context. The chapters challenge neoliberal policies and guidelines by questioning current practices and proposing various leadership frameworks. By incorporating both a Canadian and Mauritian context, the authors highlight various strategies which can be used to rethink our current approaches to decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephanie Chitpin\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Educational Researcher and Full Professor of Leadership at the Faculty of Education, University of Ottawa, Canada.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e David C.
