Middletown Schools Superintendent Suspended
Witmer's" alleged offenses detailed:
Middletown Schools Superintendent Dr. David Witmer was suspended for misappropriated nearly $23,000 worth of vacation and personal days and removing damaging information about himself from reports, according to administrative charges filed Tuesday with the state Department of Education. Last week the Board of Education suspended Witmer, 68, for 120 days without pay or benefits.
Filing of the charges by the school board begins a process that could result in Witmer being fired from his $176,604-a-year job, which he has held since February 2003. His initial contract was extended in 2004 to June 30, 2008.
Monmouth County First Assistant Prosecutor Peter Warshaw on Tuesday would not confirm whether the administrative charges filed against Witmer by the board formed the basis for the "review" of Witmer that is now ongoing in the Prosecutor's Office.
