Board lets go of three school leaders, including Jennings' principal, to save money
What happened
On April 27, 2026, the Board voted 6-0 to not renew the contracts of three school leaders because of budget cuts: C.B. Jennings Principal Janine Sullivan, Winthrop STEM Assistant Principal Alysha Carmody, and administrator Kathy Loukoumis. That same night, after a private meeting, the Board also chose not to renew teacher Patrick Myrthil's contract.
Why it matters to families
Losing the Jennings principal is a direct result of the budget cuts and the plan to close her school. This changes school leadership for next year, even before the school actually closes.
The evidence
The April 27, 2026 meeting minutes record the motion and 6-0 vote to not renew the three school leaders, plus a separate vote about the teacher after a private meeting.
