The principal of a Flagler County, Florida, elementary school has resigned from her post weeks after an assembly was held for Black fourth- and fifth-grade students, who were collectively told to improve their school performance, according to the school district. “Donelle Evensen, principal at Bunnell Elementary School, has informed Superintendent LaShakia Moore that she is resigning,” the district said Thursday in a news release. Evensen and a teacher were placed on administrative leave days after the August 18 assembly that singled out African American students from the two grades, CNN previously reported. Superintendent Moore apologized to students and their families at a news conference last month. Superintendent Moore expects that to be complete this week,” the statement said.
