Inside Poinciana Florida

POINCIANA, Fla. — An elementary school principal in Poinciana is accused of paying his son to work at the school even though his son has a criminal record. That record includes a robbery.

Eyewitness News confronted the principal at Palmetto Elementary School in Poinciana on Thursday about why he’s been paying his son to work at the school. The school district didn’t know about his criminal record until Eyewitness News informed them.

District officials said they’re now looking into it.

Eyewitness News did a background check and the principal’s son has four arrests and a conviction for robbery. He was on the job at the school when Eyewitness News walked in the office and asked for him Thursday.

Roger Blase has enough mug shots to fill a page in the school yearbook and school is exactly where the 36-year-old was Thursday. His father, Luis Alvarez, is the principal at Palmetto Elementary.
