Del. Principal Removed After Arrest

A principal in Delaware’s Colonial School District was removed from his school after being arrested.

Dr. Jacob Getty, principal of Eisenberg Elementary School since 2008, is charged with felony theft offenses related to fundraising events at the school.

The Colonial School District says they have internal financial reporting procedures in place. They also say there will be a district wide evaluation of all schools while a business director will review present procedures regarding the handling of fundraising dollars.

Letters were sent to parents of Eisenberg students notifying them of Getty’s arrest and removal. Assistant Principal Valerie Hickman has been given lead administrative responsibilities, according to the District.
