Efforts are underway at a small northeast Baltimore high school that, at times, has been at the epicenter of tragedy to focus on the "forgotten student."

The principal of the Reginald F. Lewis High Community School has been removed, 11 News has learned.
WBAL-TV 11 News obtained a letter sent to the school community that states Janine Patterson will, effective immediately, no longer be affiliated as principal of the Baltimore City school due to insubordination, willful neglect of duty and misconduct, including financial impropriety.
Under state law, the next step is for the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners to review the CEO s recommendation for termination and make a final decision to move forward with termination, according to the letter.
Dave Verdi will continue to serve as the acting principal for the remainder of the school year.
