Duval County Public Schools confirmed Wednesday that a former principal and a former assistant principal at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts are under internal investigation.
Douglas Anderson This comes after other investigations led to the ousting of two teachers there last year for misconduct. Interviews with students suggest those school leaders did not properly report allegations of teacher misconduct in the 2022-23 school year.
In August of 2022, DCPS records show a student told then-principal at Douglas Anderson Tina Wilson and Vice Principal Lourdes Gee that a teacher was talking about their sex life, leaving the student “very shaken,” but she reported “” until someone else submitted a complaint months later. The teacher was later removed from the classroom and asked not to come back.
However, records show the vice principal did not kick the complaints up to the district level until another complaint was made later. That teacher was also later not invited back to teach at DA following an investigation. “Their solution was to remove the child from the classroom and not deal with the situation,” Jenkins said. “So it made the child feel like she was, you know, doing something wrong, or had done something wrong by going to the school administrators to say, ‘Hey, I don’t feel comfortable here.’”
