A letter came home today that the principal of Allison's school is going to trial for his role in the teacher abuse that happened at the school in 2011. It's a long and weird story that I won't rehash here (you can Google it).
But the man was first suspected of wrong-doing in 2011 and suspended. Then found to not have committed criminal wrong-doing and was reinstated. Then charges were refiled in 2013 on the wrong-doing, and he was NOT suspended (on the assumption that they would also be dropped). Now they are going to trial in 2014 and he's "reassigned." I think one difference this time is that it's him and not him + his boss + the superintendent + the district.
I STRONGLY dislike this principal - just go back and read the post from when he suspended Jacob. I think he's a bully and an a**. I am totally not sad to see him leave the school and I support his removal as principal in general. I mean, really - your role in reporting abuse of students has to be "criminal" before you are not allowed to be Principal? I think there can be a level below "criminal" which is still "not fit to lead a school."
Anyway, we shall see where this goes. Hopefully, it makes everyone more likely to act quickly when abuse is suspected.
