We’re not sure why the Baltimore school board thought it could quietly approve the hiring of a new Paul Laurence Dunbar High School principal who had been involved in a graduation scandal in Washington, D.C.
It was part of several routine hiring decisions made during a school board meeting this week.
But Yetunde Reeves is no routine hire. A simple Google search brings up an ample number of stories about Ms. Reeves, who appears to have been pushed out of her position at Frank W. Ballou Senior High School in Southeast Washington after it came out two years ago that students there were allowed to graduate despite missing excessive numbers of days of classes.
There were bound to be questions about her background, and we can’t believe school board members didn’t anticipate that. Yet, Chairwoman Cheryl Casciani declined to discuss in detail the reason for the hire.
