I agree with you, cccrazy. I have heard only great things in the community about this principal - and that's from students, parents, teachers, other principals, business owners, non-profit leaders, you name it. Regardless, it sounds like the reason why he hasn't been wrapped up in this is that his involvement in this situation is most likely minimal if any. My wife, who is a principal (HS) in a different district, said that when any issue arises, even less significant than this, the central administrative team (which if I am to understand this article, included a team of 3 people) takes over the investigation, consequences, etc. I believe that I had even read/heard somewhere that the parent in this particular case called the supt. herself. Also, my wife's district is smaller and uses a law firm, rather than having a staff lawyer of their own that does all their investigations, but regardless, that's what they are there for (district admin), which is to support principals; or at least fortunately for her in her district. She also explained to me that principals do not have the authority to suspend, hire, fire, etc. She was also trying to explain that in this district, principals don't even have say as to which teachers transfer to their building? I'm not sure how that happens or even if that's true, as it wouldn't make much sense.
