Reema Khrais reports on how teacher retention issues impact low-performing schools.
Over the last five years, four different principals have cycled through Concord Middle School. The latest principal to step into the role is Carrie Tulbert. She remembers when the superintendent of Cabarrus County Schools called her last year and asked her if she could come.
“The more he told me about Concord Middle School, the more he just kind of inadvertently pulled at my heart strings,” she explains.
A former state principal of the year, Tulbert decided to take on the challenge of helping to turn around the high-poverty, low-performing middle school.
