Phillipsburg High School’s head wrestling coach and another longtime math teacher accused of making a threat for a tenure vote have left police custody and are being placed on paid administrative leave, the district’s business administrator said.
Coach Dave Post, 36 and also a math teacher at the school, and George Chilmonik, 74, with the district since 1970, were taken into custody Monday by New Jersey State Police and a county detective at the Lopatcong Township school. The pair were housed overnight at the Warren County jail and made their first appearance Tuesday in Warren County Superior Court.
