Gamble-Hiltons salary, not responsibilities, to stay the same
School system spokesperson issues correction of earlier statement
W 042618 SCHOOL BOARD 04
Langston Chapel Middle School principal Dr. Evelyn Gamble-Hilton, left, is offered support while Statesboro attorney and 12th District Congressional candidate Francys Johnson, right, discusses future possible action to protest the Bulloch County School Board's vote to support Superintendent Charles Wilson's decision to remove Gamble-Hilton as principal.
Superintendent Charles Wilson said that Principal Dr. Evelyn Gamble-Hilton’s salary will remain the same when she is made an assistant principal, but not her “responsibilities and prestige,” according to a correction issued Friday by the school system’s spokesperson. In a story Friday about the reaction to Gamble-Hilton being assigned to fill an assistant principal vacancy at Southeast Bulloch High School, the Statesboro Herald quoted the wording, as originally provided by Hayley Greene, Bulloch County Schools public relations and marketing specialist. Greene had issued the statement on Wilson’s behalf.
