CARRBORO, N.C. (WNCN) — The principal of Carrboro High School has been placed on administrative leave, district officials said Tuesday.

In a letter sent to families and staff, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Chief of Staff and School Leadership Brady Reeves said the high school was being investigated for “various matters”. As part of the investigation, Principal Helena Thomas was placed on paid administrative leave.

“This paid leave is not a disciplinary measure or change of job assignment,” Reeves said in a statement. “It is a temporary status so these matters can be investigated.

Following the district’s action, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP held a press conference on Wednesday at 11 a.m. They requested that Thomas retain all of her responsibilities as principal, including participating in the Carrboro High graduation on Saturday, until an investigation determines that action is necessary.

“In light of the recent walk out by students and parents May 29, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP insists the district office communicates and follows proper protocols and fair due process before taking any corrective actions against Dr. Thomas,” branch President Herman Foushee said in a statement. “Our support for Dr. Thomas emphasizes the NAACP’s commitment to the intersectionality of racial justice and employment and economic equity.”

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP also praised Thomas’ work as principal, noting she was offered a new four-year contract in April.

According to the NAACP branch, Carrboro High holds a 75% in the 2024 North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions survey, had the highest scores in the three Panorama student surveys from last spring to this spring, and holds an overall school performance grade of B.

Thomas has served as Carrboro High’s principal since the 2023-24 school year, according to her LinkedIn.

“Dean Avary is the father of Oak Avary, one of the students who organized May’s walkout. He described some of the experiences of his daughter, who is transgender, during her time enrolled at CHS.

“For Oak, she has endured multiple events of overt discrimination in the last couple of years,” he said. “To be clear, no one is expecting perfection from a school, much less teenage kids. What we do expect, however, is that the school administration has our child’s back. That has simply not been the case, and it’s heartbreaking.”

Avary added he believes the problems at CHS go beyond failure to address instances of discrimination. Carrboro High School students, staff and parents said they have raised concerns for two years “about the dangerous and demoralizing direction that our school has taken under the current administration,” former Carrboro PTSA president and parent Patti Martzloff said at Thursday’s school board meeting. Issues range from no soap in the bathroom to bullying that is ignored and teachers who feel they are not supported. Speakers accused her of harming staff morale and increasing turnover among teachers, who fear speaking out due to harassment, bullying and retaliation. A letter included a 12-page report detailing concerns with teacher working conditions, school safety, student support, a lack of communication, and inconsistent practices and policy violations.A lack of communication and transparency from the principal, including during power outages, a 2023 bomb threat that evacuated the school, and a tornado warning in September. Staff reported being left to fend for themselves. Concerns about whether the principal has addressed boys getting into the ceiling of a girls’ bathroom and watching female students. “Many girls report not feeling safe using school restrooms,” the report says. School board Chair George Griffin said Thursday the issue has been temporarily fixed, and a more permanent repair will be made over the summer. Hourlong faculty meetings moved to teacher planning time without consulting teachers, the report says. The move reduced the time needed to grade papers, contact parents, and complete planning and paperwork, it says. Limiting school resource officer access to security footage and information about potential safety issues. The report alleges security cameras are used to monitor and target staff members.Discipline is inconsistent and some students are treated differently, it says, while bullying incidents are dismissed.
Melinda Manning, a Carrboro High parent, said the problems inspired her to join the School Improvement Team in September, because she wanted to be part of the solution. It “became immediately obvious” Thomas wasn’t interested, she said.
The principal kept meetings short and blocked the election of co-chairs, she said. The parents were finally able to start their work in February, after taking their frustrations to district leaders. That's some of what I found in a Google search.”

“….so here are my findings so far... I was able to actually find a real journalist who actually did some work.. the journalist had a conversation with one of the fathers of one of the students who led the walk out.... now this high school student is transgender not even 18 yet...do with that what you will..... he doesn't come right out and say what happened but he said that his daughter has experienced discrimination.... and he believes that the administration doesn't have their backs.... do with that what you will. He also says the problems at CHS go beyond failure to address instances of discrimination.

He also says "The PTSA is a shadow of its former self" and "Teachers are at their wits end,” it sounds like to me that she probably doesnt agree with some of their far left ideas of sexualizing children and they are trying to paint her as an incompetent.. another thing.... every picture that I've seen of the students that engaged in this walk out were white as snow.... I couldn't find one fly in the buttermilk....I'm still collecting data but it seems like to me that these white Liberals are trying to Railroad our sister.. and they're being intentionally vague because they don't want us to dig too deep... I'm also researching this hack journalist who wrote this little piece of Propaganda... white boy named Matthew Sockol...something tells me he had a vested interest in penning this sad excuse for journalism.

Betweeen the vague article, the comments I found, the fact that the only people walking out are lilly white CAC students and parents, the stellar job she has done with the school, and the fact that it’s a TRANNY student as the main character, I came to the same conclusion you did. They’re just mad and she’s probably a principal who doesn’t take no mess

 

[InGodWeTrust]

Imagine if Black kids staged a walk out for every time they felt discriminated at school.

I swear…

 

[UpNext]

So if I accept the premise at its face, they're staging a walkout because their weird ass kid wants to play gender games and is getting fried for it?

HILLSBORO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS STAGE WALKOUT IN DISPUTE OVER TRANSGENDER STUDENT​

“More than 150 students walked out of Hillsboro High School over a dispute about the use of the girl’s locker room by a transgender student.

The walkout lasted for about two hours. Roughly 30-40 people showed support for senior Lila Perry, who wants to use the girls’ locker room during gym class. Perry was born a male but said she has identified as a female since 13.

“There’s a lot of ignorance, they are claiming that they’re uncomfortable. I don’t believe for a second that they are. I think this is pure and simple bigotry,” said Perry.

A short distance away, a counter protest was being held by people claiming they have relatives at the high school.

“Boys needs to have their own locker room. Girls need to have their own locker room and if somebody has mixed feelings where they are, they need to have their own also,” said protester Jeff Childs.

Perry told News 4 school officials have been accommodating, understanding, and compliant with Title IX. The school offered her a private gender-neutral restroom, which she turned down.

“I wasn’t hurting anyone and I didn’t want to feel segregated out. I didn’t want to be in the gender neutral bathroom. I am girl, I shouldn’t be pushed off to another bathroom,” said Perry.

Some parents have asked if it is an act by Perry to get into the girls’ bathroom. A veteran gender therapist says it is not a ruse.

“That’s really important for many people to know and parents to know, that a person does not choose this, they really don’t. They know it very early on and are in a great deal of pain,” said Patricia Berne.

Out of concern for own safety, Perry dropped out of gym class. She plans to continue to use the girl’s restroom.”

So a genetic male wants to use the women's locker room? That's the issue?

I dont think so, that area is left leaning. It seems more like the principal is too conservative for their liking and she's not with the gender fluidity or rainbow politics/culture.

If she was on the black shea butter side I dont think there would be a walk out. I personally think it's more the culture and political climate this time.

what i take from this is that wherever whites are, sexual degeneracy will soon follow.

someone earlier commented these people walking out over basically a dude in a dress or a female with tape over her t*ts getting roasted by she/he/her/it/they/them's peers for being a fukking weirdo.

the white liberal is a fox like Malcolm X said. they'll use some weirdo, degenerate shyt and turn that into a reason to practice anti black racism.

One of the complaints was the boys was watching girls in the ceiling bathroom. But you got a treh who is probably in the girl's bathroom. The irony....
