Schools

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.

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.

STAFFORD — Officials will take about three-tenths of an acre of land on Juggins Road in North Stafford ahead of the opening of a new Moncure Elementary School.

The Board of Supervisors voted on Tuesday to take the property after ongoing negotiations between the homeowners association on Juggins Road and county officials failed. Per the association’s bylaws, two-thirds of the homeowners needed to approve the take of the property, but that didn’t happen.
