The superintendent of the New Jersey school district where a 14-year-old student died by suicide two days after a video of her being bullied was posted online has resigned.
Adriana Kuch, a freshman at Central Regional High School in Berkeley Township, took her own life following a premeditated bullying incident involving four of her schoolmates.
The girls involved in the attack had already been suspended indefinitely before they were charged for the incident.
Superintendent Dr. Triantafillos Parlapanides, stepped down on Saturday from the $190,000-a-year role, a day after a funeral home opened its doors for visitation to allow people to pay their respects to the teenager.
Parlapanides resignation follows a series of interviews that caught the attention of the school board including some with DailyMail.com in which he made comments regarding Adriana’s behavior and possible drug use, which prompted action from the board.
