Ginger Webb, principal of Campbell County High School, has been released from her contract, effective June 30.
"I really don't understand why this has happened," Ginger Webb said. "He told me he felt it was the best decision in order to move the school forward, but the school has moved forward in every respect."
Superintendent Anthony Strong said he could not comment on personnel matters. Administrative contracts are one-year contracts and can be renewed each spring for the following school year.
Webb said in Strong's last year as principal, the overall Commonwealth Accountability Testing System index for the school was 73.8. In her first year, she said it went up to 74.7. Last year it jumped to 77.4.
"We've also had less teacher turnover and less discipline incidents," Webb said.
Several teachers, parents and students have voiced their displeasure through e-mails, phone calls and visits to Strong last week, and several are expected to speak out at today's 7 p.m. board meeting at the central office.

Note: Administrative tenure was eliminated with KERA and principals can be demoted easily, but they retain their tenure, and consequently their due process rights, as teachers. Demoting principals has become more common in recent years. Firings...not so much. Strong's reference to an "administrative contract" leads me to assume this is really a demotion.
