The Principal of Bear Creek Elementary has been asked to resign or face job termination. 

The Bulletin reports that Matt Montoya, 34, received notice that there will be a meeting today where he could tender his resignation or be terminated. 

Montoya says the announcement was a shock for him; coming out of nowhere. 

He was appointed Principal of Bear Creek in 2010 and is well respected and popular by students.

Montoya’s wife, Jennifer Montoya, a teacher at Elk Meadow Elementary says her husband was told the decision was made because of his job performance.  

Bend La Pine School officials declined to comment on reasons for the determination.
