Teachers at Beckwith Middle School have taken a vote of "no confidence" in Principal Debra Pincince, citing leadership issues, the teachers' union announced this week in a news release.

The vote, taken in April, was unanimous among the 30 Beckwith teachers with professional teacher status, according to the teachers' union news release.

Tim Kelly and Sue Warren, co-presidents of the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional Teachers' Association, informed the school committee about the vote last month and released it to the news media last week.

The Sun Chronicle will have more on this story later tonight on this Web site and in Sunday's newspaper.
