INDIANAPOLIS — A Washington Township Schools principal has been fired after an investigation into alleged misconduct.
In a message to staff and district families in March, MSD Washington Township said Evans Branigan, the principal at North Central High School, was on leave of absence until further notice.
The school board approved his termination on April 12. State law gives Branigan the opportunity to challenge the decision, but he declined.
The board later named former IPS Superintendent Dr. Eugene White to serve as interim principal at North Central.
According to the message in March, Branigan "was placed on leave and the District commenced an investigation immediately upon receiving allegations involving verbal misconduct and failure to implement District protocols regarding a student discipline matter."
Branigan was placed on paid administrative leave pending the completion of an investigation that included outside counsel, the district said.
The district said no additional information would be released until the investigation is concluded.
