Report

So far, the assistant principal has not been disciplined since no
one has reported the incident as far as I'm aware.

It should be noted that in some states, records reflecting or
revealing final disciplinary actions taken against various
categories of public employees, or the quality of their job
performance, in general, are available for public access.

In those states, personnel matters should not necessarily be kept
private, especially, once they have become "final."

See, "Privacy Rights v Open Records" on NYC Rubber Room Reporter and
