Mississippi briefs - The Clarion-Ledger
Two Mississippi School for the Deaf administrators "are no longer employed," state Superintendent of Education Hank Bounds said Friday.
The two are Superintendent Delores Mack and Principal Pamela Hervey.
Bounds would not elaborate and would not say if their dismissals are related to Tuesday's walkout of about 20 high school students.
The students protested that four of their 26 teachers are not proficient in sign language.
Rosie Pridgen, superintendent of the Mississippi School for the Blind, will be superintendent over both schools, which are state residential schools on Eastover Drive in Jackson. Elementary principal Sandra Edwards will be principal of both the elementary and high schools.
Bounds said he doesn't know yet if any of the students will be disciplined for the walkout. But he said earlier that it appeared staff members had a role in the walkout.
The Mississippi School for the Deaf enrolls 118 students, and the School for the Blind enrolls 70.
