BREAKING NEWS – Pittsburg, Kansas – An incoming high school principal has resigned in Kansas after student reporters investigated and raised questions about her credentials. The Pittsburg School Board accepted Amy Robertson’s resignation, saying she felt the decision was “in the best interest of the district … in light of the issues that arose.” The main concern stemmed from her receiving her master’s and doctoral degrees from Corllins University, an unaccredited, online school. Robertson said she received her degrees before the university lost accreditation. Superintendent Destry Brown praised the student reporters, saying: “I appreciate that our kids ask questions and don’t just accept something because somebody told them.” He told the Pittsburg Morning Sun. Brown also denied Robertson’s tearful request to stay one more day, because she said she wanted to have the opportunity to expel all of the kids that exposed her.
