PROSSER, Wash. — Kevin Lusk, the principal of Prosser High School, has been suspended for seven days without pay for his role in her probation violations by his wife, Linda.
Prosser School District Superintendent Ray Tolcacher suspended Kevin Lusk until Thursday of next week for not doing enough to make sure his wife abided by terms of her probation following a child molestation sentence. Linda Lusk was arrested in November for attending her daughter's high school swim meet in Ellensburg in violation of her probation.
Tolcacher said Kevin Lusk, who also attended the swim meet, should have been more careful in making sure his wife filled out proper paperwork before attending the event as required.
"He was there … He should have checked to make sure she had it," Tolcacher said.
Kevin Lusk had been on paid leave since Jan. 19 pending a school district investigation.
In July, Linda Lusk, a former Prosser mayor, was sentenced to three months in jail for inappropriately touching a 14-year-old boy in April 2010.
As part of her probation, Linda Lusk, a convicted sex offender, is prohibited from entering a school, attending school events or having contact with children younger than 16 without a chaperone. She is also prohibited from traveling outside Benton, Franklin or Yakima counties without permission.
