Unfortunately, information has come to light that has led to the decision by ACPS not to proceed with the appointment of the West End Elementary School principal made last week.
This information concerned disagreements that took place a number of years ago. These were reported at the time but were not brought to the attention of ACPS until this week.
In light of that information, ACPS concluded that it was best to move in a different direction. We want to assure you that this was a difficult decision that was made in the best interest of the school division.
ACPS has already resumed the search for the new principal of the West End Elementary School and will announce the appointment once it has been made.
