Naperville principal loses job over plagarizing

NAPERVILLE, Ill. District officials say the principal of a suburban Chicago high school has been removed after plagiarizing a former student’s speech.

Naperville School District 203 Superintendent Alan Leis says Jim Caudill won’t be back as Naperville Central High School’s principal. But he says attorneys for the sides are still negotiating, so Caudill could return in another role.

Leis says Caudill has been with the district for 34 years. But he says students can’t plagiarize and administrators shouldn’t, either.

Caudill delivered a speech last week that included passages from a speech delivered eleven years ago by a 1997 graduate. That former student is now a teacher at the school and was in the audience.
