The concept of delocalization encompasses the transfer of teachers by their employers either voluntarily or involuntarily to another location which is not necessarily the county of the teacher's origin. The transfer of principals in some schools faced succession related disruptions. More so, the academic performance of the secondary schools has been on a downward trend where the examination malpractices were observed nationally. This study sought to establish the influence of delocalization policy on principal management of students' discipline in secondary schools in Loitokitok Sub County. The study was guided by Collegial Leadership Theory and Agency Theory. The research design for the study was descriptive design with case study approach. There are 22 secondary schools in Loitokitok Sub-County therefore, the target population comprised of all the 22 principals and 286 teachers in Secondary Schools in Loitokitok Sub County in Kajiado County. The target population was stratified into three categories namely; Boys, Girls and Mixed Secondary Schools whereby 11 schools representing 50% were sampled with a total of 204 teachers. All the 11 Principals of the sampled schools were selected purposively while 30% of the 204 teachers of the sampled schools were sampled using simple random method. This resulted to an overall sample size of 72 respondents. Primary data was utilized which was collected using a questionnaire. Data was analyzed with SPSS using descriptive and Pearson correlation statistics to explore variable relationships. The study found that curriculum supervision strongly correlates with teacher motivation (r=0.739, p=0.000), but not significantly with principal performance. It was recommended that since principals demonstrate good management skills, education stakeholders should invest in continuous leadership training and mentorship programs for school leaders. School Boards and education offices should recognize and incentivize effective principals to maintain high standards of school leadership.
