New principals have been named tonight for Dillard Drive and Carnage middle schools.

Jacob N. Bryant will become the principal of Dillard Drive Middle in Raleigh, receiving a salary of $87,606. Bryant has been the principal of Jeffreys Grove Elementary School since 2006.

Bryant replaces Teresa Abron, who is retiring. School officials say there’s no connection between her retirement and the December 2007 incident in which Dillard was faulted by federal civil rights officials for holding segregated assemblies for black and Hispanic students after a fight.
