The investigation at Madisom Southside Elementary has been completed; will be appointing new leaders

Chris Rickert:

The two had nonetheless remained on the district’s payroll, although amid the investigation district leaders have refused to say what they were doing. Leading Southside have been an interim principal and assistant principal. 

In the Wednesday email, district Superintendent Joe Gothard says Southside’s current leadership team “will select a group of staff, parents, teachers, and community members” to participate in a community panel that will work with district human resources to hire a new principal. Such a panel was not used when Terrell was hired as a principal in 2020, the district has said, because of complications related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
