Carver students protest transfer of assistant principals. District responds
Dozens of Carver High School students chanted in the hallway as they walked out of the building this week to protest the transfer of two assistant principals.
Videos and messages posted on social media show students upset with the Muscogee County School District administration’s decision to transfer assistant principals Chasity Boyd and Latavius Watts.
MCSD communications director Kimberly Wright didn’t answer the Ledger-Enquirer’s questions about the situation before publication, such as why the two are being transferred, to where, who will replace them and whether the students who walked out have received any punishment, but Wright issued this news release Thursday:
“The Muscogee County School District is aware of the situation involving Carver High School. Please note that administrative transfers, (in this case, lateral transfers) are a routine part of district operations and occur regularly, particularly during this time of year.
“We are also aware of the circulating video involving a small group of students. At this time, there is no additional information to provide.”
