FACT FINDER: School policy changing after embezzling principal

It doesn't mean a thing if a principal has a sealed file with another school district when he or she resigns in lieu of dismissal for misconduct. There is no way a district can investigate for this. I wouldn't be surprised if Stansberry had to resign so he wouldn't be fired outright and could get a position at another school or school district. The only reason he was eventually caught was because charges were filed against him and would have eventually been part of the public record. The only reason WCSD is trying to cover its tracks is because the local media made the district aware of it. I have been told there is at least one other WCSD principal who has been with the district a number of years who also had a sealed file when this individual was hired from another district. The person was alleged to have committed some fairly serious misconduct. However, there is no way the media or the school district can investigate this person because the circumstances remain confidential. WCSD, like so many school districts around the country, has a serious principal/administrator problem. Stansberry may well be the first principal ever fired outright by the district, but there should have been many, many more for various instances of professional misconduct.
