  Topsail High principal suspended   PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) --
Topsail High School's principal has been suspended, but no one
is saying why. Pender County Schools spokeswoman Joyce Keith
says Marcus Skipper was suspended Monday with pay. Keith said in
an e-mail to WWAY, "There are no further comments."  Back in
June the school board reassigned Skipper to Cape Fear Middle
School leading to outcry from Topsail parents and students.
Within days, the board reversed its decision.  "Marcus Skipper
requested to be reinstated," Keith told WWAY in an e-mail June
16. "The decision is in the best interest of Topsail High School
and Cape Fear Middle School."     Oh my goodness. All of these
comment owners apparently are in the Pender family yet throwing
stones at each other. I've had more principals than Skipper and
as far as I've seen he's handled situations very maturely and
has never been hostile or rude towards any students or parents
speaking by what I've heard and experienced. There can be room
for improvement in
