DON'T GO TO HIGHSCHOOL IN SAVANNAH

Savannah-Chatham County Public School System spokesperson confirms that superintendent Dr. Thomas Lockamy is meeting with teachers and staff at Beach High School Thursday afternoon to inform them that only about half will be back at Beach next year. Others will be reassigned.

Employees are being told that they may reapply for their jobs.
Beach High School has been classified by the state as a “Needs Improvement” school for five years, a classification linked to Adequate Yearly Progress. Beach has about 950 students, 80 teachers, and 120 staff members.
Karla Redditte, the manager of public information for the school district, says only 49 percent of the current employees could be rehired to work at Beach. The other employees could still be hired at any other school within the district.
District officials say Dr. Deonn Bostic Stone, current principal at Beach, will not return as the principal next year. She will be placed in an administrative position somewhere else within the district and does not have to reapply for a position with the district. Moral of the story, don't go to high school in Savannah
