Maude Lamont, a Philadelphia native who has been acting principal of Wilson High School since 2018, resigned this week after WW asked Portland Public Schools if it was investigating her for taking narcotics from the high school's evidence room.
The announcement of her resignation came May 13, three days after WW asked the school district questions about the alleged February incident.
The district is not speaking about the reason for Lamont's resignation. "We are aware of the allegations and are taking all appropriate steps to address them," says district spokesman Harry Esteve. "It is a confidential personnel matter, so we are not able to discuss details." Meanwhile, Lamont did not respond to emails from WW.

Used to be only police stations had evidence rooms. Now high schools do?
I can well imagine the volume of business that room must do in a typical urban high school.
I cannot imagine that a high school should have an “evidence room”. To me, it would make sense that anyone who has the key to the “evidence room” should be charged with possession of whatever evidence is kept there.
Hey, at least she didn’t shtuuup a 15 year old while coyote ugly...
I guess that form of criminal activity is left for the instructors.
I would suppose that the police were ignorant of its existence. I can only imagine that it was part of a restorative justice effort. Right up Portland’s alley.
Amazing. Boy, am I out of touch.
The drugs must show up on the Board of Education's balance sheet as "goods held for resale."
She’s purty. Seems she needed some narcotics for a Valentine’s a Day celebration. Or some poor dude needed them.
Lamont, you big dummy!
Of course the school has an evidence room. It's just down the hall from the holding cells.
Well, she can kiss her cushy 6-figure gig goodbye.
I wonder what kind of pension she’ll be entitled to.
“What are ya in for?”
“Chewing gum in class.”
