New Jersey School District Announces Resignation of Superintendent Following Tragic Death of 14-Year-Old Adriana Kuch

The Central Regional School District in Ocean County, New Jersey, has announced the resignation of Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides in the wake of the death of 14-year-old Adriana Kuch. Kuch was found dead in her Bayville home two days after a Feb. 1 attack at Central Regional High School, which was recorded and showed four students attacking her.

The incident has sparked outrage among students and parents who say it reflects a culture of bullying in the district. The four students involved in the assault were suspended and charged, officials said.

In response to the tragedy, the Central Regional School District is evaluating all current and past allegations of bullying. The district also released a statement expressing its condolences to the Kuch family and the Central Regional family.

The district has not yet named a replacement for Parlapanides, but it has promised to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of its students. The district is also working with local law enforcement to investigate the attack and is providing counseling services to students and staff.

The Central Regional School District is committed to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all students. The district is asking for the community’s support as it works to address the issues of bullying and violence.
