NJ school superintendent resigns after bullied student Adriana Kuch’s suicide: report
New York Post ^ | February 11, 2023 | Steven Vago,

The New Jersey school superintendent who blamed the family of a 14-year-old student who killed herself after a fight in her high school has resigned, according to a report.

Triantafillos Parlapanides, the head of the Central Regional School District, submitted his resignation after an emergency school board meeting Saturday, NBC reported.

Parlapanides tried to shift blame for Adriana Kuch’s Feb. 3 suicide to her family, claiming her father’s “affair” and her own drug use was causing turmoil in her life.

He revealed personal family information to the Daily Mail, telling the outlet the girl’s father, who was widowed, was having an affair when Adriana was in sixth grade and that the youngster’s “grades and choices declined in 7th and 8th grade.”

“We offered her drug rehab and mental services on five occasions but the father refused every time,” he said.

Michael Kuch denied his daughter had been offered drug treatment, and said she had merely been experimenting with a weed vape like other teens.

Adriana took her own life two days after she was badly beaten by four other students in a school hallway.

The anguished family had called for Parlapanides to step down.

“I want that entire administration gone,” Kuch told The Post Saturday. “The superintendent slandering people, bashing people. Calling Adriana a drug addict. What is wrong with this guy? He is incompetent.”

It is all damage control.
This school district is screwed, so they are doing everything they can to show they did everything possible to deal with it.

Triantafillos Parlapanides …
Sounds more like the name of a venomous sea slug than of a school superintendent. But maybe I’m being redundant . . .

Ron Jeremy is no longer doing porn, so the industry needs another hedgehog. Although, this guy is more like a warthog.

**How is his name even pronounced?**

There was a guy where I worked in the late 80s. His difficult to pronounce last name had 14 letters.

We just called him Steve Alphabet.

I’m actually amazed that this guy resigned. Usually punks like him just ignore the public outcry, and wait things out. Anyway, here’s what happens to bad cops who resign. They take a bit of time off. Then they get hired on somewhere else.

The exact same thing happens with bad superintendents. I’ve seen that many times.

I just hope the family sues him for millions, and bankrupts him.

Next School Board people, call to arrest the perps (And anyone else doing the same thing for A-B), expel them as well, bring back discipline/accountability and budget for reform schools to segregate the bad from the good.

With a Superintendent like that leading by example, no wonder the school system has a massive bullying problem. He can be Exhibit A in the lawsuits. Next time the School Board shouldn’t hire a mob enforcer.
