Principal at Amber Alchalabi’s school forced to resign after allowing Amber to appear on the show
Considering we have seen teachers appear on the Bachelor numerous times over the years, apparently the parents at the school where Amber Alchalabi teachers are a bit more conservative when it comes to romancing on reality TV.
Colony Bend Elementary School principal Tammie Carpenter was reassigned and demoted from her position for allowing the recently rejected Alchalabi — a fourth-grade teacher at the school — a 22-school day absence to compete on The Bachelor’s tenth installment. While she resigned rather than face the punishment from the Fort Bend Independent School District, Carpenter apparently had a change of heart.
“The district accepted her resignation upon receipt,” district spokeswoman Mary Ann Simpson told the website FortBendNow, which reports on Fort Bend County, TX, on Wednesday. “Now she has sent the district information that she does not want to resign.”

Given the support Carpenter had reportedly received support from parents of Colony Bend Elementary School students, Timothy Jenney, the district’s superintendent, was mulling over the idea of rescinding the resignation,
“[Jenney] is meeting with some of the Colony Bend Elementary parents [on Wednesday night] at their request,” Simpson told FortBendNow. “There will be no decisions or action taken [at the meeting].”
However following that meeting, Carpenter apparently reversed course once again, as she has rescinded her own request for reinstatement, Houston’s KTRK-TV ABC television affiliate reported Friday.
“[Carpenter’s] attorney tells us [Jenney] made some untruthful statements during a meeting with parents Wednesday night and she will not work for someone like that,” KTRK-TV reported.
Um, yeah. Talk about making a confusing situation even more confusing! But looks like Amber won’t be back teaching fourth graders again next year at Colony Bend Elementary.
