Wauwatosa Officials Not Saying Why Principal Was Investigated

WAUWATOSA, WI -- Wauwatosa East High School Associate Principal Rob Day has resigned after he was been put on leave pending an investigation in late October. District officials are not saying the reasons behind the investigation into Day's apparent conduct.

"I want to let you know that Associate Principal Rob Day has resigned from his position at East High School and as an employee of the Wauwatosa School District," Wauwatosa Superintendent Phil Ertl wrote in a Tuesday letter from his office. "The District’s internal investigation is complete and given it is a protected personnel matter, we do not have additional information to share."

District officials declined to answer questions as to the nature of the investigation, or the findings with regards to Day. Wauwatosa Patch reached out to the Wauwatosa Police Department in November, however officials there would not confirm whether the department was involved in any investigation related to Day.

According to a WISN 12 report, Ertl also sent a letter home to district parents in November, saying Day was put on non-disciplinary administrative leave pending an external investigation.
