Stevenson HS board votes to accept dean's resignation
The Stevenson High School board voted tonight to accept the resignation of the dean of students after he was accused of sending inappropriate text messages to a student.
Paul Weil, who had been at the school since 1999 and the dean since 2008, submitted his resignation Wednesday, said school spokesman Jim Conrey.
Conrey called it a "very sad day" for Stevenson, in northwest suburban Lincolnshire. He said Weil had been a valuable member of the staff, but that student well being was the school's top priority.
"He's a good man, and it's an unfortunate way to end, and it should not overshadow all the good," Conrey said.
Lincolnshire
police and the Lake County state's attorney's office are also investigating, but
authorities have said there is no immediate indication that any crime
occurred.
Conrey would not address the content of the alleged texts, other than to call them inappropriate. He said he didn't know how the texts came to the attention of school authorities. He said Weil, who could not immediately be reached for comment, has not been at school since the investigation was launched in recent days.
