From The Chicago Tribune: A Lake Forest (Ill.) middle school principal has resigned after questions were raised about how the school district handled his use of a work cellphone to send vulgar, harassing messages to a 22-year-old college student. Deer Path Middle School Principal John Steinert, 40, pleaded guilty in May 2009 to misdemeanor harassment through electronic communications. At the time, the district wrote a letter admonishing the principal, ordered him to counseling, confiscated his cellphone and temporarily froze his salary. But within the next year, the district expanded his job duties and gave him a bonus.
