The principal at an Upstate school has resigned amid controversy. Greenville County Schools Media Relations Director, Tim Waller confirmed Tuesday morning that the principal at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary, Preston Spratt has resigned.

Spratt said " : “My work in education is focused on improving student outcomes, creating community partnerships, and my never-ending belief that all students will succeed when we provide them with excellent teachers. I deeply regret authoring the tweets and appreciate the opportunities I have had at A.J. Whittenberg. I look forward to continuing my mission in a new setting.”
