Former Phoenixville Middle School Principal Under Federal Investigation

Former Phoenixville Middle School Principal Troy Czukoski is being investigated by the US Attorney’s Office and Postal Service, Media Patch is reporting.

According to the Delaware County Daily Times, Czukoski was placed on leave from his current position as principal of Springton Lake Middle School, a Rose Tree Media School District school, on Thursday night. District parents learned of the news from a recorded message they received.

There is no information available at this time regarding the nature of the investigation but, according to the Times, Rose Tree officials suggested in their message that they don’t think Czukoski’s presence ever compromised the safety of Springton Lake students.

On Friday morning, Phoenixville Area School District superintendent Alan Fegley sent a letter to parents letting them know that the district is aware of the investigation. Fegley said the district doesn’t have any information on the specific allegations, but will cooperate fully if contacted by authorities.

Czukoski—who was profiled by Patch in September—served as principal of Phoenixville Middle School for seven years before moving to district office. He accepted the Springton Lake position in July of this year.
