PUYALLUP, Wash. - Puyallup High School principal Mike Joyner has been reprimanded for his hugs and kisses.

Last week's reprimand by the Puyallup School District comes after a district investigation last month that found the 58-year-old Joyner inappropriately kissed three female employees and a student, and "lightly swatted" one teacher on the head.

A Nov. 16 letter says the district plans to survey the employee climate at Puyallup High School. The letter was written by assistant superintendent Larry Serna of the Puyallup schools' human resources.

Serna told Joyner future physical contact with a woman that might be perceived as inappropriate or unwelcome in the future could result in discipline up to and including his firing.

Sera's letter noted it was Joyner's second reprimand for similar conduct within a year.

In November 2006, the district reprimanded Joyner after a teacher at another Puyallup school said he inappropriately squeezed her shoulders and arms as she tried to move away from him at an athletic coach seminar.
