Teachers and parents urge Whitney ISD board to keep assistant principal, citing student safety and morale
Summary
Multiple teachers and parents at the April 23 special meeting told the Whitney ISD Board that Assistant Principal Dr. Slaughter protects students and has improved campus morale, asking trustees not to dismiss him.
During public comment at the April 23 special meeting, parents and teachers repeatedly spoke in defense of a campus assistant principal identified as Dr. Slaughter, saying he provides critical student support and has helped raise staff morale.
Teacher Jenny Redding, a district educator for 26 years, told trustees, "What is best for the kids is Dr. Slaughter." Parent Jason Mercer said his child was in the classroom during the incident at issue and that the child said Dr. Slaughter "came in and stopped the other student." Other speakers, including Alissa Hill and Nichelle Infante, described Dr. Slaughter's daily interactions with students and teachers and urged the board to consider the campus impact if he is removed.
