ED, Melvin Berry former PMSA director dismissed [D209]

Forest Park Review (Josh Adams):

A lengthy internal hearings process for former Proviso Math and Science Academy principal Melvin Berry culminated this month with a unanimous vote to dismiss the administrator.

I haven't heard anything new. Earlier Proviso Probe reported:

Melvin Berry, the director of Proviso Math and Science Academy, was relieved of his duties today. He has been charged with committing sexual harassment two or three years ago while he worked at Proviso East.

The woman alleged to be Berry’s accuser is a member of former Democratic Committeeman Eugene Moore’s political organization. In the past Berry was an also active in Moore’s organization and invited members of District 209 staff to join and become active.
