Originally Published 2 years ago — by WJXT News4JAX
Donelle Evensen, the former principal of Bunnell Elementary School in Flagler County, Florida, has resigned following backlash over an assembly that targeted the academic performance of Black students. The assembly, which sparked a county investigation, led to intense criticism from parents who were unaware of the event until their children spoke about it. Evensen, who was placed on administrative leave along with a teacher, expressed regret for the harm caused but disagreed with her removal. The district has apologized, and an interim principal has been appointed while the investigation continues.
