Three school principals are being reassigned and another is to retire, the Ministry of Education announced this morning.

Commissioner of Education, Wendy McDonell, said the administrative transfers will take place in September with the principals being moved “to facilitate and promote site renewal and professional growth, offering a wealth of experience and knowledge to their new settings”.

Minister of Education, Elvin James, expressed his full support for the administrative transfers of the principals and said: “This should be a great opportunity for Principals to hone their craft in new environments.”

* Gladstone Thompson will transfer to St. David’s Primary, from Dalton E Tucker

* Kimberly Creighton moves to Elliot Primary, from St. David’s Primary

* Gloria Martin transfers to Dalton E. Tucker Primary, from Francis Patton Primary

* Dr. Gina Tucker moves to Francis Patton Primary from the Department of Education
