On September
24, 2012 Principal Eric Dean Lewis, 42, was charged with six drug related
crimes, including sales of methamphetamine, Ecstasy and the date-rape drug GHB,
which is used in small doses as an intoxicant by those in the club scene. He
was arrested September 20, 2012 at a Cal-Train station in San Francisco, where
he had agreed to pick up an undercover agent he ''met'' through a gay dating
website. How dumb was this educated fool? He should know you can’t trust most
of the people you met on those dating sights. Eric Dean Lewis was a principal
at Montague Elementary School in Santa Clara. Lewis faces a maximum sentence of
eight years and four months if he is convicted. Prosecutor Daniel Rothbach said
“there is no evidence that Lewis was selling or using drugs with children.” The
community was shocked when they heard this news. Shawna Yacoub a parent said, "We were really
quite disappointed because Mr. Lewis is quite respected here." Santa Clara
Unified School District Superintendent Bobbie Plough said, "I think our
hiring process is pretty thorough. We do extensive background checks, reference
checks and we've never had an incident like this before."
Eric Dean Lewis is not the only principal to
be charged with trying to sell drugs to undercover officer. David Groover,
principal of Partin Settlement Elementary School in Kissimmee, Fla., was
arrested on June 15 after allegedly providing drugs to an undercover Sheriff's
deputy. What in the world has come over our leaders in education? Are they
doing this to supplement their income? Are they doing this because their
addicts? You never know about what a person is into, they may look all squeaky
clean but are not. Do you think they were watching too much Breaking Bad?
