Charter School Defends Actions After Girls' Withdrawal
posted 6:29 am Wed January 16, 2008 - WASHINGTON
Vincent Blount is assistant principal of the Meridian Public Charter School. He acknowledged at a D.C. Council hearing Tuesday that school officials didn't follow up after the children's godmother, a former employee of the school, told them that the children's mother was going to home-school them. Blount said 11-year-old Tatianna Jacks, 6-year-old N'Kiah Fogle and 5-year-old Aja Fogle stopped attending the school in February 2007. Their decomposing bodies, along with that of their 16-year-old sister Brittany, were found last week. Their mother, Banita Jacks, has been charged with their murders.
