Warwick elementary school principal’s employment up for discussion Tuesday night

WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) — The fate of a Warwick elementary school principal could be decided Tuesday night.

The employment future of Wyman Elementary School Ronald Celio is on the table after Warwick superintendent Lynn Dambruch recommended his termination last week.

According to the Warwick School Committee agenda, a personnel matter will be up for discussion for an “elementary principal contract” at Tuesday night’s meeting.

There is also an item to discuss an “approval for an external investigation of admin allegations.”

Both those items are slated for executive session, meaning the public will not be allowed in on the discussion.

The agenda items comes after Dambruch sent out a communication saying she is recommending Celio be fired for an incident earlier this year where Celio is accused of restraining a student.

Celio has been on administrative leave since April 8.

“This is a difficult decision but with a heavy heart, I am recommending to the Warwick School Committee that Mr. Celio be terminated from his position,” Dambruch wrote in her letter to the school community last week.
