WATERVILLE, Maine — No decision was made Wednesday night in the case of Don Reiter, the principal of Waterville High School who is accused of asking a student for sex.
On Wednesday night, Reither faced the Waterville school board in a hearing that was slated to determine whether he would be fired.
After hours of deliberation, board members left at about 9 p.m. without making a decision.
More than 100 people were waiting to hear the board’s decision.
On Tuesday night, school attorney Bryan Dench said Reiter allegedly asked a female student to have sex with him. Reiter denies all allegations.
Reiter’s attorney said the student was the one who made advances, putting her hand on Reiter’s thigh and calling him attractive.
Reiter’s attorney also said the principal immediately stopped the conversation and then reported it to his supervisor, but the superintendent has recommended he be dismissed from his position.
