Nearly two weeks ago, an Essex County Grand Jury declined to indict Frank Sanchez on charges of endangering the welfare of a child on Thursday, June 13, authorities announced.
The charges stem from an incident involving a student in January at the school in the South Orange-Maplewood School District, the Essex County Prosecutor's Office said. The charges were referred to Maplewood Municipal Court, the Essex County Prosecutor's Office said.
The principal was suspended from his job following the alleged incident, as reported by Daily Voice when charges were filed in March.
Sanchez has been principal at the school since June 2020 after previously serving as a high school principal in Mountain Lakes, according to his Linkedin.
