Jack Yates High School Principal Tiffany Guillory was relieved of her duties last week, according to Houston Independent School District officials.  

According to a statement from a district representative, the district will not provide additional details because it is a personnel matter. The statement did not say on what date Guillory's employment ended but said she had "been relieved of her duties" sometime late last week.
