Atlanta Public Schools transfers principal amid investigation

A school secretary, who was placed on paid leave, will report back to work after spring break.

Smith said APS is investigating “various concerns that have surfaced” at the school, but he would not provide details.

Another Tuskegee assistant principal, Yolanda Weems, will serve as the interim principal through the end of the school year.

“This decision was made in order to maintain stability and consistency, as the students and staff continue to focus on teaching and learning,” Smith said, in a written statement.

Earlier this school year, Crandall and Woods were briefly suspended without pay after an APS investigation prompted by an anonymous complaint found testing irregularities related to the sharing of a "benchmark test" with teachers before it was administered to students.
