    Solution

    When the subject is followed by "along with," the verb must agree with the main subject — in this case, "The Principal" (singular). So, "have" should be replaced with "has."
    Correct sentence: The Principal, along with the teachers, has inspected the examination halls to ensure proper arrangements for the board exams.
