The search begins immediately for a new MMSD principal after the district conforms the top educator, Dr. Jeffrey Copeland, at Ray F. Sennett Middle School is no longer employed with the district as of Monday.
In a statement, MMSD spokesperson Tim LeMonds says, “I can confirm he is no longer employed with the district. Unfortunately, due to this being a personnel issue, I am unable to provide information on the nature of his separation with MMSD.”
Two people with first-hand knowledge of the situation, including MTI president Mike Jones, told NBC15 Dr. Copeland was fired on Monday after a meeting with district leaders. Copeland took over as Sennett principal at the start of this school year.
