Pleasant Valley Middle School principal on leave

Published March 21. 2019 12:50PM

Pleasant Valley’s middle school principal is out on leave again.

Superintendent David Piperato confirmed Wednesday that Principal Rocco Seiler is on leave for the remainder of the school year.

“Our current assistant principal, Mrs. (Josephine) Fields will run the building with additional support from other administrators,” Piperato said.

Seiler was on medical leave earlier in the school year and returned in December.

In November, the Monroe County grand jury returned a presentment which included claims of Seiler being granted immunity by the county in exchange for information regarding an incident that took place in a bar where Seiler was with former district employee Joshua Krebs.

Krebs is currently awaiting trial on charges he illegally placed a wireless video camera in a break room at Pleasant Valley Elementary School in 2016.

He is also facing perjury charges stemming from the incident as well as an incident in a Towamensing Township bar 10 years ago.

There is no evidence at this time that this leave is related to either of these issues.

What is up with this school? All we read about is the grand jury and garbage from people that have left the school coming back to cause drama! Everyone coming out of the woodwork to testify. I call BS!! Why didn’t they say anything before the grand jury? They are colluding to rid the school of Seiler! Do a search for him on Google and see all the good he did at that school! Parents don’t like him because he disciplines kids, something that the parents don’t do but they want the principal to allow the unruly to go on at a school...this principal is t having it. Bully??? Really?? How about rule enforcer? Disciplinarian? God forbid a principal has standards in the school, kids today need someone tough at the age to teach them that the world isn’t theirs! As for his actions at a bar...10 years ago...come on who cares!! Who’s telling the truth?? Alcohol impaired the judgement of BOTH parties...but to wait 10 years to say something when the new superintendent is on his witch hunt??!! Why isn’t anyone investigating him? He brings former teachers that he either worked with or have worked for him into the district ahead of tenured teachers already in the district? Ol’ Pip is on a witch hunt!!! I guess this is what happens when you live in the sticks with a bunch of people that can’t accept someone who runs a tight ship. Oh and how about someone look into the board members!! There are several that have less than gleaming backgrounds as previous administrators but yet sit on the board...several have NO experience with schools but they have a “local name” so they get the popular vote. The school...from the superintendent to the secretary is corrupt!! Promote this guy for keeping students and teachers alike accountable for their actions.
