Thirty-nine from Tapp Middle were nominated by their teachers for showing the character trait of the quarter.
Thirty-nine Tapp Middle students were recently honored for showing respect as part of the school’s program that awards those who display a certain trait. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, some of those students were recognized by Mayor Pat Vaughn, who recently attended a Chick-fil-A-sponsored breakfast with them. “Each teacher recommended a student from her class that she felt had best represented respect,” the mayor said. “I want you to know how proud I am of these students.” All the character traits play off the acronym PRIDE—Performance, Respect, Integrity, Determination, Excellence. Hence, the program is called Students of Pride. It was put together by Tapp’s teachers and Principal Jeanne Walker over the summer, and, since …

Former Tapp Middle Principal Jerry Dority and school counselor Yatta Collins were fired by a unanimous vote from the Cobb County Board of Education today, the Marietta Daily Journal reports via Twitter. The decision comes a little more than a month after the two were arrested for allegedly failing to report possible abuse against a student immediately to authorities. They had since been on paid administrative leave. State law says that a person overseeing children, like at a school, must report a case of suspected abuse immediately, but in no case later than 24 hours from the time “there is reasonable cause to believe a child has been abused.” Failure to do so results in a misdemeanor charge. Dority, 50, and Collins, 40, allegedly waited …

Collins' hearing is scheduled to begin March 27. They are both on paid administrative leave. The two pleaded the …
