'Pregnancy Pact' Principal Has New Job

GLOUCESTER (AP) ― The former principal of Gloucester High School has a new job, less than a week after resigning following a furor over his comments on the school's surge in student pregnancies.
 
Joseph Sullivan stepped down Friday, saying Gloucester Mayor Carolyn Kirk had slandered him by questioning his integrity and intelligence.

On Thursday, the Gloucester Daily Times reported that Sullivan has been hired as principal of St. Joseph's School, a Catholic school in Wakefield for children in kindergarten through eighth-grade.

Time magazine in June reported that Sullivan said some of the 17 pregnant students at the school made a pact to get pregnant.

Kirk disputed the existence of a pact, and didn't invite Sullivan to a news conference on the issue, saying city officials couldn't "verify" his comments.
