PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Two high-ranking Palm Beach County school officials whose criminal charges were dropped in a high-profile case will soon be back in schools.
According to Palm Beach County School Board documents, Darren Edgecomb, the former principal at Palm Beach Central High School in Wellington, and Daniel Snider, the school's former assistant principal, are set to move into new school-based positions.

With the school board's approval at its Wednesday night meeting, Edgecomb will become a principal on assignment to support the Department of Charter Schools starting on July 1, and Snider will become an assistant principal at Royal Palm Beach Community High School.
Edgecomb, Snider, and three other Palm Beach Central High School employees were arrested on July 24 of last year, accused of failing to report a suspected sexual assault between two students off-campus back in 2021.
However, the State Attorney's Office later dropped Edgecomb's charge, saying the alleged teen victim was unable to recall "material aspects" related to the case.
A judge, meanwhile, granted Snider's motion to dismiss the charge against him.
