The CHCCS Board of Education appointed Susan Pegg as the interim principal of Frank Porter Graham (FPG) Elementary School at Tuesday night’s board meeting.
Pegg retired in June as the principal of Seawell Elementary. She will begin her duties at FPG on Jan. 4.
Shelia Burnette, who has been the principal of FPG for three and a half years, is on medical leave. She has submitted a letter of resignation, effective at the conclusion of her leave on Feb. 26. The board approved the leave request and resignation Tuesday evening. FPG Assistant Principal Cindy Daniels will serve as the acting principal through the end of December.
The district will launch a comprehensive principal search shortly, with a goal of naming a new principal by June.
