KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A former Shawnee Mission School District principal who drew sharp criticism will resign at the end of the school year.
Paul Colwell served as principal of Shawnee Mission Horizons High School before a June 2020 Kansas City Star story laid bare accusations of misconduct by Colwell at the school.
The school is the district's alternative high school.
Colwell planned to take a job at the start of the 2020 school year at Shawnee Mission West High School, according to The Star's reporting.
Students and parents protested moving Colwell to Shawnee Mission West.
Colwell serves as an administrator supporting virtual programs.
His resignation is effective June 30, 2021.
