New principal hired at Carrboro High

By clock on August 1, 2008.

Ruby reports:

Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools just released a statement saying that the School Board selected a new principal for Carrboro High list night. Parents at the brand new school have been feeling shafted as their students have less advanced courses available, and their last principal was let go rather swiftly and unceremoniously. I wonder if people will be more satisfied after this new principal gets settled in.

Fortunately, both of our kids avoided having to go to the new Carrboro High School, so we have been watching this saga from the sidelines. It is, nonetheless, the local school where a lot of our neighbors' kids go, and I hope that the new principal, Kelly Batten, will be able to get the school back on track as well as to fix the perception that there might be something wrong going on there.
