I taught for Dr Burnett for several years before moving to Dallas, Texas to be married. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was simply the best Principal I ever worked with. My thoughts and prayers are with you, I'm so sorry I only heard of his passing recently as I would have paid my respects at his funeral.
My maiden name at the time was LeVine. Dr Burnett supported me in every classroom decision I made. He was profoundly professional and at the same time in total agreement...

Remember Dr. Burnett as a very stern and serious principal at CVS. If there were more men like him, what a more beautiful place Chicago would be.
