High-profile head of renowned charter quits

Oakland's Novometro blog is reporting that admired but controversial Principal Ben Chavis of American Indian Public Charter School in Oakland has quit.

This sky-high-scoring school has received such national acclaim — even as Chavis' bizarre behavior has achieved local notoriety — that this event is worth noting from across the bay.
