Former Triton Principal Involved in Sex Scandal Denied Certificates
Catherine DePaul pleaded guilty last year to not reporting teachers involved in a sex scandal at the school in 2012.
Former Triton Regional High School Principal Catherine DePaul will not be permitted to keep her teaching and administrative certificates following her involvement in a sex scandal at the school, the Courier Post reports.
DePaul was one of two administrators charged in 2012 with not reporting information she had about three teachers who were engaging in sexual activity with students.
She pleaded guilty to a disorderly persons offense last year. She received one year's probation and was forced to give up her certificates.
She argued that giving up her certificates amounted to giving up her identity, according to the report. The State Board of Examiners rejected her argument on Monday.
DePaul and former Vice Principal Jernee Kollock were both charged with withholding information about sexual relationships between the teachers and the students. Charges weredropped against Kollock the day after she resigned, according to the report.
Jeffrey Logandro, Nicholas Martinelli and Daniel Michielli were the three teachers charged. All three eventually pleaded guilty.
