District offers no explanation for sudden removal of 6 administrators from North Atlanta High

From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The entire administrative staff at North Atlanta High School in Atlanta was dismissed at the end of the school day Friday and escorted off the campus, the Atlanta district says. Four of the six-member administrative team—an assistant principal and three academy leaders—were reassigned, says Stephen Alford, spokesman for the Atlanta Public Schools. The other two, interim Principal Mark Mygrant and academy leader Reginald Colbert, retired. A letter to parents from Superintendent Erroll B. Davis provided no explanation for the changes. Davis said only that it is a new day at North Atlanta and the school had undergone a “total leadership transition.”
