In return for this, Postupac worked to ensure Scappe's son would be selected for a full-time gym teacher position that was open at Highland Middle School. 'If this action is to occur, it will not only have been wrong and illegal, but further widen the deep-seated political biases that certain board members hold against school leadership.'Īccording to the state ethics board, Postupac worked with Moon Area School Board member Mark Scappe during the summer of 2016 to influence the districts' hiring processes, ensuring his daughter received a full-time job within the school system that was not properly advertised. 'I have been made aware that this evening, some members of the Blackhawk School Board will deliberately mischaracterize and illegally misuse a document in an attempt to terminate my employment contract,' Postupac said in a press release before the decision occurred.

The vote to remove Postupac came after the board placed the administrator on paid leave following a report by the Pennsylvania State Ethics Commission detailing ethics violations the administrator committed within the district to ensure his daughter received a job in the Moon Area School District.

The Blackhawk School Board passed a motion Thursday to fire Superintendent Robert Postupac. ― Officials at the Blackhawk Area School District are searching for a new superintendent after they decided to cut ties with their head administrator.
