Fired principal files appeal

As expected, Peggy Petrilli, the principal who was removed under highly questionable circumstances from the Booker T. Washington Academy in Fayette County in 2007 has filed an appeal to her original lawsuit.

As we reported, the Kentucky Department of Education just returned a decision concerning allegations from Petrilli's school district that she cheated on CATS tests. The department found the evidence lacking to support such charges and has closed the case.

Armed with this new evidence along with a large number of lingering questions about the conduct of her first trial, Petrilli now goes forward with her lawsuit.
