Embattled Camas High School Principal Liza Sejkora has resigned following backlash to social media posts she made about former basketball star Kobe Bryant’s death.
The school district announced that Sejkora, who had been the principal at the school since 2017, submitted her resignation Friday. District staff will form a transition plan and share it with families in the coming days.
“I am working with the Camas leadership to resign my position as principal of Camas High School,” Sejkora said in a district news release. “Students and staff deserve to have a learning environment free of disruptions.”
The former Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard was among nine people, including his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, who died Jan. 26 in a helicopter crash outside of Los Angeles. That same day, Camas High School Principal Liza Sejkora wrote, “Not gonna lie, seems to me that karma caught up with a rapist today.”
