MURDOCK — The principal of Charlotte County’s alternative high school has been removed from his position pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations that he altered student grades, according to school district officials.

Ron Schuyler, who has been principal of the The Academy at Charlotte Technical Center for nearly a decade, has been reassigned to the district purchasing department and could face anything from a verbal reprimand to suspension or termination, pending the outcome of the case, according to Mike Riley, spokesman for Charlotte County Public Schools. In addition to the grade-altering accusations, Schuyler is under investigation for what superintendent Doug Whittaker called “interpersonal issues” with staff.
