The (Longview) Daily News reports Ron Reynolds will resign his job as  principal of Toledo Elementary School at the end of the month under a settlement agreement approved last night.

Reynolds was put on leave after an October coroner’s inquest jury ruled unanimously his then-wife Ronda Reynolds’ 1998 death was homicide and named him and his son Jonathan as responsible. No charges were brought for lack of evidence.

News reporter Natalie St John writes the district said the community was not  interested in him being principal anymore; it will pay him $3,880 a month for three years in exchange for his resignation.

    “Sunniestgirl”, if you are any sort of government employee who is in a union, you can almost never be outright fired, which is why you always see public servant union members leaving with such lucrative packages… like this one.

    And while you might think he was effective as principle, his popularity amongst most people is nil, and THAT is not conducive to being an effective administrator of a school. Plus, with the coroner saying that he WAS the cause of death, who would want their child going to a school headed by a person who may or may not be a murderer?

  2. Sunniestgirl says:

    He absolutely was an effective principal. That’ s why his school was the only one of the Toledo schools that was passing the state regulated mandates. There are plenty of staff and students that would agree that they loved and have missed him since he has been absent from the role. He was obviously needed by the school as well because he was still working for them even after being put on leave- just in an “off the scene” role. The school had no grounds to let him go as he has not been found guilty of a crime, this is obvious by the fact that they negotiated a settlement.

  3. Steve says:

    He was not an effective principal. He was reactive instead of proactive and was not an inspiring instructional leader, which is the role of principals these days.

    See that is what I been talkin about , the they did it to themselves claim, yep this is the County if ya’ll wanta whack somebody. Now where did I leave that gun ?

    That’s strange. Lack of evidence never stopped Lewis County from prosecuting other people AND finding them guilty.

    He must have friends in the department.
