Terrence Yarborough is a transformative leader who deserves FCPS support. Start by declining his resignation!

This seems to be a case of misguided judgement on someone who has changed the environment to help educate our children. I surely pray that this isn't based on race or hate for Mr. Yarborough

No one should be able to ruin the reputation and/or livelihood of an individual without an unbiased, fair & thorough investigation. It's obvious Mr Y has made a positive impact on the individual students, the school & community. Please be thorough!

Mr. Yarborough is wonderful and I want to see him back doing what he does best: Being a super leader of Carl Sandburg Middle School.

He is a wonderful principal! That student should take a course in following direction when told. We have lost a great leader for CSMS.

A tragic loss. Shameful that this is the outcome. He is amazing and no student should get away with this. The dedication and leadership will be a huge loss, and he will be greatly missed. There is no accountability with our families anymore.

I know that many of the parents of CSMS students, and the students themselves, respected and liked Mr. Yarborough. He ran a tight ship and it showed. The school will miss him. This is a terrible loss for these students and this community.

My daughter attended a private elementary school in the local area. When she decided that she wanted to return to public school, I was nervous for her to attend Sandburg. Those nerves were gone after attending an open house with her and meeting Mr. Yarborough. Jr. high children are special creatures and Mr. Yarborough knows how to heard those cats. Most importantly, he understands that each child is an individual and there is no one size fits all method to addressing issues. His service to our community will be greatly missed.

I am highly concerned for the future of Sandburg Middle School. It was like the Wild Wild West before Mr. Y arrived. Please don't let it slip back to that dark and dangerous time.

Mr. Yarborough is respected by the parents and the students at Sandburg, a very hard thing to accomplish. He has had such a positive affect on the school and the community. He deserves to be be supported by the school board and county administration.

Both of my children attended CSMS and I had the opportunity to witness firsthand the great job that Mr. Yarborough did with that school. I was deeply disturbed to hear that he resigned. Administrators like Mr. Yarborough are very hard to find and I think that Fairfax County's school system will suffer without his presence. Hopefully, you will reconsider and bring him back.

Mr Yarborough was a person who believed in the importance of service, first in the military then continuing his professional life into education. He was an active role model at Sandburg, promoting school spirit and teamwork. He knew his students and interacted with them. With over 1400 kids+ and staff, I can not imagine the daily challenges he faced not only with the issues that came up but also balancing the various personalities and backgrounds. Yet he did it, and with a smile. He believed in the importance of moving forward, reaching higher academically, and creating a learning environment for students to succeed. His message and vision for improvement was not liked by all but very few good leaders receive the initial praise they deserve. His contributions made a difference and his departure leaves us all wondering what could have been.
