HAYMARKET — Elected leaders in Prince William County are voicing their displeasure with the way an external investigation into a longtime school administrator was handled.
The county’s school division on Friday notified parents via a letter that Ronald Reagan Middle School Principal Alfie Turner would not return to the school following an internal investigation into allegations she bullied teachers there. She was reassigned to the school division’s human resources office, and Roger Dallek, a principal who retired from Gar-Field High School in Woodbridge will serve as an interim principal until a replacement for Turner is hired.
WOODBRIDGE — The proposed Rays Regarde development in Woodbridge would tax an already overenrolled elementary school, according to county documents.
The new housing development that would be located at the end of Horner Road would bring about 160 new students to Woodbridge-area schools when it is built and then more in the following years, according to those same documents. The closest elementary school is the new Kilby Elementary which opened last year, which is already over capacity and cannot handle any new students, documents state.
STAFFORD — What do you want in a new schools superintendent?
Residents are invited to fill out an online survey from Stafford County Public Schools with questions about the characteristics they want to see in the school division’s next leader. The survey asks if the superintendent should be involved in teacher recruitment, setting the division’s school curriculum, or be focused on the finances of the school district.
