CMS Places Principal, Assistant Principal, and Dean Of Middle School On Leave
Carmel Middle School students and parents woke up to quite a shocking message this morning.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools have announced three of the top leaders at a CMS middle school have been placed on administrative leave.
The message went out to families on Tuesday morning that Carmel Middle School’s principal, an assistant principal, and dean of students are currently on administrative leave.
The message read,
Good morning Carmel Middle School Families,
This is Tara Lynn Sullivan, CMS Central 2 Learning Community Superintendent.
Keeping you informed of matters impacting your child’s school is important to me.
With that in mind, I want to provide you with the information I can share regarding a situation at Carmel Middle School. Principal LeDuan Pratt, Assistant Principal Bethany Gullion, and Dean of Students Patrick Dean are currently on administrative leave. Details of the situation are a personnel matter and cannot be shared.
I realize this information is unexpected and may be unsettling. Please know that maintaining the quality teaching and learning environment at Carmel is the highest priority. I am working quickly to identify a highly qualified and caring interim principal and assistant principal to support the Carmel students, families and staff during this time.
In the meantime, I will work closely with Assistant Principal Jared Thompson and all other staff to ensure school operations continue as usual. Once an interim principal and assistant principal has been assigned, communication will be sent to all families. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 980-344-7130.
