In reference to your article about two principals sued for negligence in the alleged bullying of two students ("Jury finds in favor of principals, schools in bullying lawsuit," Dec. 23), I know and worked with Charlotte Williams years ago. She is characterized as a true role model for other principals in the Baltimore City Public School System. She always conducted herself in a very professional manner with her students, staff, and parents. Ms. Williams always followed correct protocol and/or procedures in and every area affecting her school.
Discipline was done in a positive manner, still informing students of desirable behavior in the classroom as well as throughout the building on a daily basis.
She always kept consistent records and complete documentation of behavior actions of her students. She could always be seen talking with her students in her office or as she closely monitored her building throughout the day's activities. Her parents respected her and appreciated Ms. Williams for her honesty and affection for each student.
As a former co-worker and colleague of Charlotte Williams, I looked to her as a role model and positive force in the work field. I know she was truly an asset to her school and the Baltimore City Public School System.
