Then I think you have to make SURE the principal reports it to the CDE. No more lip service. If she doesn't report it, then I do think you have to, regardless. I wouldn't surprise her with it, but if she says something about wanting to handle it in-house or whatever else she might say to blow you off, I think you have to follow up.

Be kind. Be a team player. But be firm about it. I really don't think you should take no for an answer.
