(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Great School. As a response to the first message, they moved the principle since she was embezzling money with the help of the secretary. My complaint about the school board is the whitewash they did to cover. Current school administration is great.

- it is a shame that the school board has moved another principal. when will they wake up and realize it is an internal issue? The last principal made it the best school it has been since it opened. disappointed again by SCS.
