In August 2013, district superintendent Richard Como and athletics director Jim Donato left their jobs following the discovery of racist text messages[2] on their district-provided mobile phones.[3][4][5] Both were arrested in 2014 on charges of theft and state ethics violations.[6] Donato pleaded guilty in June, 2016 with an agreement to pay restitution to the district for the $15,000 he admitted stealing. March 18, 2018 Chester County Common Pleas Judge Thomas G. Gavin sentenced Richard Wallace Como to a jail term in Chester County Prison of three to 23 months, followed by three years of probation, on the charges that he was found guilty of at trial in January – dealing in unlawful proceeds, theft by unlawful taking, theft by failure to make required disposition of funds, and conflict of interest.[7]

Angelo Romaniello Jr. had been appointed acting superintendent following Como's departure, following which Taschner was voted in by the board in a 7-2 vote for a 5-year contract running July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022.[8] Taschner resigned on (Tue, approx Aug 15, 2019).
