I was thinking the same thing but then they made a point to state that the "personnel" matter had nothing to do with students; which leads me to believe that it truly was a personnel issue. Maybe an affair with a teacher? Just kidding.

I heard tumor diagnosis. He probably has to get an operation.

In MCPS, people get put on administrative leave during investigations for three main reasons - financial irregularities, testing violations, and child abuse. If there's financial concerns, they don't stay in position during auditing.

They let people stay on the job if they’re investigating them for embezzling?? That’s really dumb. I would think paid admin leave for that. Maybe leave on the job if you’re investigating using school time/resources for a side business, but not stealing/fraud. They’d still have access to way too much money/sensitive info.

Yes, definitely this, but not fired...getting investigated most likely. But probably a step above the garden variety embezzling type offense, because they’d let him keep working in that case. They don’t make everyone take leave who they investigate.

Could be out on medical leave? For a health-related issue, for the principal or family member?

most likely he'll either resign or get returned to a lower position when the dust settles.

that doesn't mean fired

Wow, they almost never fire anyone.

School web site says he is "currently on leave for personnel matter unrelated to students" and there's an acting principal for the remainder of the school year.

how do you know the Principal was fired.

Anyone know?
