Pennell grapples with loss of a principal

Pennell is one of seven low-performing schools slated to become a Traditional Promise Academy. Popular principal Gina Steiner will be replaced. But District officials say the school will have more resources.

So according to the District, it MUST do the Renaissance thing to Pennell because of Federal rules, but when they talked at Audenried, they said Federal rules didn't apply and they were going on Act 46. I love how the District uses both sides of the coin whenever it suits them. Disgrace.
