Supporters protest demotion of Principal Gamble-Hilton
Promise court challenge to action
W 042618 SCHOOL BOARD 02
Bulloch County School Board member Maurice Hill, center, tries to clarify a motion with fellow board members as supporters of Langston Chapel Middle School Principal Dr. Evelyn Gamble-Hilton pack the board room during Thursday's work session. The board voted to support Superintendent Charles Wilson's decision to remove Gamble-Hilton as principal.
Parents, pastors, NAACP members and an attorney protesting to keep Dr. Evelyn “Bonnie” Gamble-Hilton as principal of Langston Chapel Middle School prompted the Bulloch County Board of Education to restructure its Thursday night work session. But nothing had been resolved when the board adjourned and the crowd went home nearly three hours later. The board did not override Superintendent of Schools Charles Wilson’s decision to reassign Gamble-Hilton to Southeast Bulloch High School as an assistant principal, and her supporters left promising a court challenge and protests at future board meetings and calling for Wilson to be fired.
