I am a parent of a child that was in the school last year that had the same principal that is now the new principal at Coker-Wimberly. Many student and staff left the school that was under that person's care. This principal was not very involved in helping the students or staff sort out any issues they had regarding bullying or anything else for that matter. That is putting it in the nicest terms I can manage at this time. Before this person came to that school it was one of the highest ranked elementary schools in Edgecombe county NC. My son and many other children were bullied at that school and when I looked for help that principal made light of the situation, laughed and joked at one point, and did not do much of anything to help. The principal often times even avoided me when I needed a meeting and help for my child. The quality of the school went down as did the staff and students moral due to the poor management of the principle. I wish the students, staff, and parents better luck than we had last year! Hopefully that principal will do a better job or move on to a lesser position that would not require action, hard work, and caring about people.
