GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina principal has decided to retire after school district leaders halted the cash-for-grades fundraiser she approved.
Wayne County Public Schools said Friday that Rosewood Middle School principal Susie Shepherd has gone on leave for the rest of the month and will retire at the beginning of December.
The Goldsboro middle school had planned to allow students to get 20 test points in exchange for a $20 donation. Shepherd says she approved the idea after a parent advisory council presented it as a way to raise money.
School district officials stopped the fundraiser this week, saying no students will get extra credit and any donations will be returned.
The district says a new principal is expected to be named next week.
