Principals aren’t tenured and are never safe, not even in DeKalb Charter Schools.

Chesnut Elementary lost the beloved principal Dr. Alexander and many wanted her to stay forever, the same is now happening to Vanderlyn’s Principal, Charlene Burger.

Vanderlyn parents have been signing petitions and requested meetings with Dr. Lewis but they have not been successful in scheduling such a meeting. Tonight Dr. Lewis should be attending the redistricting meeting at Peachtree Middle School where he may be presented with the neighborhoods plea to keep Ms. Burger.

The parents who are upset over Mr. Lewis’s decision to transfer Ms. Burger will be wearing Blue shirts (school color) in support of Ms. Burger.

Between the redistricting and forced principal changes, this might be an explosive meeting.
