Principal Convicted of DWI After Crash | Buffalo News

A school administrator, Melissa Spada, assistant principal and athletic director at Williamsville East High School, was convicted of DWI after crashing her car into a garage in February with a BAC of .18 — well above the legal limit. She was acquitted on more serious charges but received a conditional discharge and fine. Spada was placed on leave shortly after the incident and remains unlisted on the district’s website as of Tuesday. While the town justice handed down the verdict, exact penalties beyond the fine are still pending. The case has sparked questions about judgment, especially given her leadership role in education, and the district has yet to confirm her future employment status.
