Assistant Principal at York Comprehensive High School is fired

YORK CO., S.C.  – The assistant principal at York Comprehensive High School has been fired by the York School District One board.

The decision comes after district leaders say Charles Drakeford had been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into a personnel matter. The district says because it is a personnel matter, they cannot release any more details.

In a statement, Superintendent Dr. Heath Branham said that every employee is expected to uphold “professional and ethical standards” and that when expectations are not met “we will act decisively.”
