CHARLOTTE (QUEEN CITY NEWS) -- The Randolph Middle School principal has resigned following her suspension, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS).
Principal Jennifer Schroeder has submitted her resignation, effective July 1, 2025. Retired principal Dr. Michael Turner will serve as interim principal for the summer and the opening of the 2025-2026 school year.
On May 20, Schroeder was suspended with pay, according to CMS. Officials have not stated what prompted this decision.
Following the suspension, parents were told that “our principal is away from campus at this time” and that additional support had been set up for finals; however, Schroeder's suspension was not directly mentioned.

Schroeder has an over two-decade-long career, joining CMS in 2004 and becoming principal of Randolph Middle School in July 2024 after transferring from Crestdale Middle School.
This comes as Ardrey Kell High School's principal was also suspended in May and replaced in June after retiring.
