KALAMAZOO (WKZO AM/FM) — Kalamazoo Public Schools have put the Principal of Loy Norrix High School on Administrative Leave with pay, but they are not saying why.
The notification came down this evening that Principal Rodney Prewitt would be temporarily replaced by Johnny Edwards, former Principal at Loy Norrix and current director of secondary education. He is serving as the interim principal.
After a former female employee at Loy Norrix filed a federal lawsuit charging Prewitt with sexual harassment and the news went public last week, the district issued a statement that they felt the allegations were without merit.
That news broke at the same time fights erupted in the cafeteria and around the school prompting intervention by local police agencies.
Whether any of that is connected to Prewitt’s leave remains speculative.
