This research was conducted in phenomenology design as qualitative study. Thirty school principals working in Tekirdağ province, Süleymanpaşa district public schools (special education, preschool, primary school, secondary school, and high school) participated in the study. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview form. The findings were analyzed by applying the content analysis method and presented by creating themes and codes with quotations. The findings show that school principals are not involved in financial processes. Their relationships with parents are more discreet and they are sensitive in their relations with staff. There is no deliberate discrimination among teachers, they are neutral in tendersand canteens, they embrace the interests of students in opening courses, and they are far from financial expectations in student enrolments. For minimizing the ethical difficulties in schools and establishing a regular school ethical chain, it has emerged that the moral principles in schools should be defined beforehand. Administrators should be trained ethically before their assignment. Simultaneously, the obligation of solving financial difficulties, which are the source of ethical problems in schools, has emerged.  \nKeywords: School Management and Ethics, Ethical Problems, School Principals, Ethical Values, Phenomenology.  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2020.334.7  \n1Dr., Vocational School of Health Services, Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Tekirdağ, Turkey, ORCID: 0000-0001- 8531-6001  \nCorrespondence: [ismailerol59@hotmail.com](ismailerol59@hotmail.com)  \n2 Dr., Education Faculty, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University, Rize, Turkey, ORCID: 0000-0002-0279-7397, Email: [ismailkarsantik@gmail.com](ismailkarsantik@gmail.com)  \nIntroduction  \nEthics as a concept originates from the Greek word \"ethos\", which suggests behavior and character (Özdemir, 2008) . As Aristotle, one of the world's most recognized and discussed Ancient Greek philosophers, put it: \"Man is a political animal by nature\" (Tannenbaum & Schultz, 2007) . Of course, due to this state of nature, it is inevitable to create a network of relationships . This political and social life created by individuals is a result of human nature. It can be undoubtedly stated that most thinkers accept the role of concepts such as ethics, virtue, and morality in this social and political life, which are formed by their nature (Berkowitz, 1999, p. 4; Miller, 2000) .  \nIn the context of social and individual relationship networks, behaviours that are almost entirely adopted and that arise by executing the essential rules and their requirements can be defined as ethical values (Kırlıoğlu & Akyel, 2003) . There are a relationship and difference between ethics and morality. Most comprehensively, concerning the relationship between morality and ethics, ethics can be described as follows (Cevizci, 2008, p. 1):  \n“Ethics can be defined as the way of thinking that has everything adding meaning to life, the theory of moral principles or the discipline of philosophy in terms of the life of the individual who has an absolute morality and strives to realize a specific experience ideal, secondly, those who criticize and even condemn the course of the age, the life of the society of which they are a member and consequently attempt to impose alternative values, living rules or principles instead of the current or in terms of the attitude of the philosopher who does not define him explicitly but tries to justify his implications and finally, just like the physicist who analyzes the language of morality, discusses the nature of moral ","cbCairPblC0lICOL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairPblC0lICOL","pdf",306142,26,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Ethics as a concept\n## Ethics vs. morality\n# Ethics in Schools\n# Ethics in School Management","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to investigate ethical issues faced by school principals in public schools and how they respond to unethical matters during and after such situations.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted?\",\"answer\":\"It used a phenomenology design as a qualitative study.
