addiction can be a b*****. I pray for this family as well as for all the families out there that have someone they love addicted to drugs...
What he did was wrong but when you r addicted to drugs your judgment changes...I hope that this serves as a lesson to all the teens and young adults that think drugs are harmless...it screws with your life..

Bevilacqua had a problem with drugs back in the old days.. but i didn't think it would come to this; expecially when your making nearly $90,000 a year. Honestly, a vice-principal shouldn't even have keys to the nurses office in my eyes. Why should that be any of his business? Also, he shouldn't just be on leave, because he has set a bad example for students. As much as I think his choice was wrong, i still have respect for him, as I would any other person of authority. We have to remember, he's a human being like the rest of us. I'll keep him and his family in my prayers, and hope for the best.

Phil is an excellent educator and a kind and dedicated vice principal. The recent accusations do not reflect the great man he is. Keep his family in your prayers! Take care of yourself, Phil!

In jail hopefully. This fool was entrusted with the care of our children. And what did he do? Got stoned thats what. Of course as I see more into our public school system, there is not a lot to be happy about.

I would like to know why you would EVER say that he had a problem back in the old days. I don't think so, I knew him. He certainly did NOT.5

Phillip is a kind and giving person. He was, well IS a friend. I believe the man should not be presumed guilty nor a monster. He is the type of person that would give YOU the benefit of the doubt. He would not presume YOU guilty and he would take compassion on anybody who is having problems. It seems a bit unfair to me, that he would be painted as anything less than a human being. Whether he had a problem I didn't know about or not, I prefer to think of the good the man has in him and to have compassion for any problems he MAY have. Can any of you say you have never made a mistake or suffered from some kind of problem? My heart goes out to him, his wife and his family. God Bless You Phillip, stay strong, you know who you are and IF you are suffering from any problems, please know that there is help all around you. Forget what these people who like to judge so harshly have to say. I can only imagine what we would find in one of their closets!
Take Care and God Bless!

This fool was entrusted to watch our children and yet not only does he fail at that, but puts them in danger by being under the influence while on duty. What a POS.

Phil is a good man and has a nice family! We are all human, and all of us have made mistakes. Look at all the good he has done. Let's cut him a little slack! He hasn't hurt anyone.
