CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) — Champaign parents say they're being left in the dark after two board member resignations and changes to the administration at Booker T. Washington.
BTW families tell WAND News that Principal Jamie Roundtree and Assistant Principal Rebecca Ramey are being pushed out of their jobs after criticizing the district's handling of a shooting near Booker T. last fall.
Both administrators have retained attorney Ron Langacker, who said that he's filed a charge of discrimination on behalf of Ramey with the Illinois Department of Human Rights.
