We have enjoyed working with Earnest Winston for 10+ years. He will be a great acting @CMSSupt! We look forward to continued partnership with @CharMeckSchools to build student civic literacy and civic leadership in 2019-2020 and beyond! 👏🏾
"We are in a time of leadership transition in our school district, but our focus on students remains clear because they are what matter most."

Student journalists wanted to highlight the conditions of their crumbling school building. Administrators ordered the video taken down:
Norfolk students filmed a report about their crumbling school. Administrators ordered it deleted.
Poor conditions at the century-old Maury High have been no secret. But top school officials didn't like what a teacher said in a student news report.
