Newark High School's principal is stepping down.
Superintendent Matt Cook says he accepted Tom Roote's resignation at a school board meeting Wednesday night.
Cook says Roote cited personal reasons for his departure but the district has been under recent scrutiny since a former teacher was arrested on child pornography charges out of Virginia for receiving nude pictures from a minor.
Prosecutors say Matthew Holland, 28, also operated Illumination Images photo studio in Newark where he admitted to secretly filming minors while they were getting dressed. Holland only recently resigned from Newark High School.
