Love a happy ending:

"First, let me say that I have apologized to the Timonets and I am hopeful that my scheduled meeting with Kaylee's mom will rectify this situation and allow Kaylee to enjoy the remainder of her senior year at Walker High School," St. Pierre said. "As principal of Walker High School, I am faced daily with many difficult decisions for the interest of our students and employees that are never taken lightly. Please know that I always strive to place our students first in every decision. It is for that reason that I have taken this corrective action," he added.

Livingston Parish Public Schools Superintendent Joe Murphy told FOX 8 on Monday that St. Pierre has requested to take leave for the rest of the academic year. "Walker High School Principal Jason St. Pierre has requested to take leave for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year. The district office is awaiting his paperwork to process his request," Murphy said.

Looks like principal morality police here won’t have a job come next year.

I believe she lost her scholarship due to this and I’ve seen no claims yet that it was restored. Her mom was saying he waited until after the deadline to restore the scholarship recommendation.

Then she has measurable financial damages & should sue the shit out of the school district to be made whole.

Yeah this is a pretty clear cut first amendment violation imo

He should be forced to pay her out of his own pocket and be fired

One can only hope he's nowhere near a position of power with kids again. What a tremendous piece of shit. Of course he brought religion into a conversation about a girl having the audacity to enjoy life. It's like he couldn't wait to say the quiet part out loud.

This Guy's the type to sexually assault minors. He's showing all the signs

Please know that I always strive to place our students first in every decision.

Erm... no, Mr Principal... as per your previous statement, you place "the lord" first. Whatever that means to you at the time.
