PLEASANT VIEW, Weber County — A Weber High School administrator has been fired over allegations of misconduct in his personal life and law enforcement officials are conducting an investigation into the matter.
Vice Principal Jim Bell was in his 15th year in the district, according to Weber School District spokesman Nate Taggart. Allegations of misconduct surfaced in early March. He said Bell was placed on administrative leave March 8 and he was handed a letter of termination on March 21.
Taggart declined to comment on the nature of the allegations, but the Weber School District notified North Ogden police about them.
A specific inquiry about Bell Tuesday prompted a statement from the police department. The statement did not name Bell, but revealed “an unspecified allegation involving a female juvenile” relative. It said the “alleged offense” took place in North Ogden, but because of information received, the Pocatello Police Department in Idaho was taking over the lead in the investigation.
The statement said North Ogden police were not able to discuss the case with either the “victim or alleged suspect to confirm what, if any, offenses occurred” within the city’s jurisdiction.
When asked about Bell, Pocatello police spokeswoman Diane Brush said the department could not comment because it was too early in the investigation.
Taggart said Bell could still appeal his firing.
Attempts to locate Bell for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful.

He's been VP for 14 years and I actually was in his office once. He was nice. I seriously can't believe this news.
We have a couple teachers that try to look down girls shirts, make [I]strange[/I] comments, and all that kind of stuff. I can think of 2 right now. Only one of them received punishment, and he was asked to retire (we couldn't fire him because laws). The other still works here today and is widely regarded as a creep.
One of my favorite teachers was caught fooling around with a teenage girl. No one could believe it when it came out. He was never charged (lack of evidence), but it was obvious he was doing stuff.
reminds me of a science teacher at my high school who had sex with a student of his, and lost his job.
then the principal left and the new principal rehired him. c'est la vie

My old high school has a maths teacher who will actually stand behind girls and lean over them when they ask for help and has been doing that for years.
