GIG HARBOR, Wash. (AP) - The principal of a private school in Gig Harbor lost his job this week after allegations surfaced that he supplied drugs, alcohol and money to a student while at his previous teaching job at a Seattle high school.
The News Tribune reports the Archdiocese of Seattle received “credible allegations” that Davin Reyes, the principal of St. Nicholas Catholic School, had given the items to a student at O’Dea High School, according to spokeswoman Helen McClenahan.
“Because of this, he was terminated as principal of St. Nicholas and his case was turned over to police,” McClenahan said. The Archodiocese’s legal team contacted Seattle police in December, she said.
Reyes has been principal at the preschool through eighth grade school since 2018.
Reyes taught Spanish and religion at O’Dea from 2008-2018, according to McClenahan.
St. Nicholas named Felicia Read as interim principal.
Attempts to reach Reyes for comment were unsuccessful.
