Princeton ISD fires two employees over party with underage drinking
Two Princeton ISD employees were fired after attending a party where students were present and underage drinking occurred, the district confirmed Friday.
The employees attended the party recently, and the district was notified on Tuesday, according to a message sent to parents, faculty and staff.
Termination followed ethics violation
The district said it fired the two employees within 24 hours of learning about the incident, citing violations of the Educator Code of Ethics.
Parents of the involved students were informed, and reports were filed with the State Board of Educator Certification and the Princeton Police Department.
District urges community vigilance
"The district does not tolerate misconduct from employees," the district correspondence said. "As a reminder, if you or your students become aware of misconduct, please notify the appropriate campus or district administrator immediately.
"The district takes all allegations seriously. We appreciate your support and our partnership in your student's education."
