Emblematic of CCSD's failure of nerve, the suspension with pay of Eric Vernold, who took over as principal of North Charleston High School last October, remains a mystery, unreported by the P & C and apparently not dealt with during Monday night's CCSD Board meeting.
Failure of nerve because the case so typically is described as a "personnel" matter with no further details. Which causes more harm to the District--rumors or basic facts?
You can see where I'm going with this. Nasty rumors are flying about this removal, even some posted on this blog. What else could be expected when not even basic facts are released about the issue?
Who's being protected here? The student body of North Charleston High School? Vernold? I doubt it.
UPDATE: CCSD announced Wednesday that Vernold has resigned. Will it let the rumors continue to fly unchallenged by any other facts? Of course.

What happened to the principal? What is going on at NCHS?
Nothing like leaving everyone involved just swinging in the wind. Rumors rule when nothing else is available.
Who vets these candidates anyway? Every level of CCSD's administration seems to have taken in people with some highly questionable or at least dubious credentials.
I know nothing of NCHS or this person, but everyone deserves better than letting this issue go unexplained.
Eerily reminiscent of the sudden departure of Roy Hollaway, the Principal "Specialist" hired by CCSD who left the school in shambles, alienated the staff, and purged/persecuted many of its best staff members.
