Longtime middle school principal Brenda Bourne is stepping down, Lusher’s board learned at their monthly meeting, April 26. Bourne will finish out her year as principal then work for Lusher in an as yet unspecified capacity, Lusher’s chief executive officer Kathy Riedlinger announced.

The job will be advertised.

“She’s just been doing this for a long time,” Riedlinger told The Lens, while declining to speak further on Bourne’s behalf. Efforts to contact Bourne for comment were unsuccessful.

Bourne has worked for Lusher since 1991, first as a counsellor, later as assistant middle school principal. She became principal after Hurricane Katrina. CLICK HERE to read the rest of this piece at The Lens…
