CHICAGO -- The principal of Spring Grove Elementary School was in a Wisconsin jail Tuesday night on charges of sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl.Daniel Markofsky, 47, of Richmond, was caught over the weekend in Glendale, Wis., at a Super Motel 8 with two teen sisters, 15 and 16, according to police.
Police alleged Markofsky and the two girls were smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol and watching pornographic material. The sisters were from the Milwaukee area, according to police.
The Chicago Tribune reported that on Saturday a Glendale police officer knocked on the door of his room after smelling marijuana, according to the report. The report said Markofsky answered wearing a shirt and boxer shorts.
Neighbors near the school in Spring Grove were shocked by the news and feel Marckofsky should not remain as the principal.
"You wonder how long that kind of stuff has been going on with the kids," said Jamie Mason, a neighbor in Spring Grove. "I don't think any man should have the authority to be around kids when he does stuff like that."
The school did not wish to comment on the case.
A closed-door school board meeting was scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at Nippersink School in Richmond, according the Chicago Tribune.
