Principal Fired Just Before School Starts | Providence News
Description
Parents at Saint Michael School are in uproar after the principal was abruptly fired just before the new school year, sparking accusations of cover-up and a loss of trust. The Diocese claims a review uncovered serious issues with his compensation records, leading to the decision not to renew his contract — a move the former principal denies, insisting he was promised renewal and even offered a generous severance package including tuition for his kids, which he says contradicts how someone accused of financial misconduct would be treated. Frustrated parents say they’ve been ignored, some have pulled their children out of the school and enrolled them in public schools. With rumors swirling that teachers may also leave and no permanent replacement yet named, families are left anxious as classes loom — all while the Diocese insists it’s focused on students and is actively searching for a new leader, though it refuses further comment on personnel.
