So Westtown East Goshen police a.k.a. WEGO issued the following statement today via CrimeWatch- I will note they didn’t post it on their socials that I can find.
The Westtown E. Goshen Regional Police Department was asked to review information provided by the West Chester Area School District (WCASD) involving Rustin High School after the resignation of the principal. No criminal activity was found, and the matter is closed. For any further information, please contact the WCASD. Created Jan 6, 2025 @ 1:50 PM | Updated Jan 6, 2025 @ 3:04 PM

So this started mid-December remember?
Michael Marano resigned as the Rustin principal. He’s only the second one I think since they opened the school. And this high school had issues before with the problematic swim coach before Marano came to work there.
So you have the school district are sending out the original notice and then nothing. His wife is also an employee of the school district in and administrative capacity, correct ?
The rumors have been flying since this started. Also flying around? A little teeny weenie snippet of a video that you can’t really prove and yet everybody’s sharing it. I can’t tell you how many people asked me to share it and I said no because I don’t know the man nor can I prove it’s authenticity.
There were even comments received, supposedly from students, but again I don’t know and I’m not going to just publish random comments speculating because nobody knows what went on.
The whole thing is very strange and how does a guy go from being like a superhero principal on the West Chester Area School District Instagram feed a year ago to resigning before Christmas ?
So was he accused of something he didn’t do, or was he accused of something they couldn’t prove? I mean, seriously can we ask at this point given this latest blip out of the police what the sam hell is going on?
If the police have closed their investigation out here then the school district needs to say what’s going on? Don’t they owe that to the parents at a minimum and the students.?
This story right before Christmas made the local TV news and the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Daily Local . And I know that the police department was not super forthcoming because there was chatter with the media, which in and of itself is not unusual because they won’t comment when they’re investigating. But now this is the only comment so is anybody going to tell people what went on?
Anyway, that’s the latest on this great mystery of life with this particular high school.
