It is likely a joke similar to those found in South Park. The principal is named Principal Victoria, which is a play on the name Victoria Principal.
In the film Fanboys, Billy Dee Williams portrays a judge at the county jail where the characters were detained for speeding. His name, Judge Reinhold, is a reference to a real actor's name.
The cast of Fanboys is extensive and includes many humorous and self-aware individuals—how else could Lando Calrissian himself agree to play a police official named Judge Reinhold?
The "Reinhold" joke has been used twice before, in Arrested Development and Clerks: The Animated Series.
In Arrested Development, Judge Reinhold appears in a television program where he plays the star of a show called 'Mock Trial with J. Reinhold.' This is a parody of other court shows like Judge Judy and Judge Mathis.
