Fire Rushell White

The Issue

Rushell White, current Principal of 226Q has been accused in the past of encouraging her staff to cheat on state tests to obtain higher scores. She has also been accused of various student/teacher abuses, including humiliating staff members whom she feels are whistleblowers. But recently, an incident occurred that is not an accusation. It is a fact.

James Randall had a heart attack while on the job. Ms. White did not call for an ambulance, issue a Code Blue or alert a CPR instructor teacher on the same floor for almost ten minutes. In that time, Mr. Randall suffered a substantial loss of oxygen. Mr. Randall had just recently lost his wife and he and Ms. White were at odds about the direction the school was taking.

Prinhcipals cannot be allowed to decide whom to assist in a crisis based on whether they like a person or not. Ms. White's negligence nearly killed this man and for that, she needs to be removed as Principal of 226.
