A principal at a public school in Bergen County plans to sue the school district and is seeking to get his job back, claiming he was suspended after he reported a family member was victimized by another student.
Christopher Iasiello, principal of Eisenhower Middle School in Wyckoff, was suspended Jan. 15 for allegedly failing to follow “procedures to investigate a report of a sexting incident,” his attorneys say in a complaint filed with New Jersey education officials.
The bullying and sexting occurred to a member of Iasiello’s family, who is a special-needs student in the district. The incident occurred Oct. 16, 2020 away from school grounds, according to legal documents.
