Oddly, LaQuetta Small wasn’t forced to step aside until a judgement is handed down. Note: ACHS principal, Constance Days Chapman, was forced to temporarily step down with pay. Why is LaQuetta Small still in charge of protecting and teaching young students?
Less than 25% of ACHS students can pass a simple math or grammar test.
They’re both a disgrace and it’s unbieveable that they’re both in office!! How is this allowed to go on??!!! No wonder8th grade Ventnor and Margate parents are scrambling to get their chdten in other school lotteries!! This is horrendous, that our tax dollars are paying for these 2! The fact that no one has stepped up and taken them out of office shows just how corrupt this area is!!!
