Elizabeth Police say due to a conflict of interest, the 18th<\/sup> Judicial District\u2019s prosecutors are handling that probe, not the locals. The 18th<\/sup> isn\u2019t able to share details, and the school district isn\u2019t revealing just who is on leave, either. However, the middle school principal is one of them, since the news release does say Elizabeth High\u2019s Assistant Principal Kimberly Runyan is taking over at the middle school on an interim basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n OPTIONAL TAG– Some retired teachers are also being brought in, to fill some of the suspended staffers\u2019 positions. Parents will be able to ask questions at a public forum next Wednesday, or they can stop by to directly ask the superintendent about what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A criminal investigation\u2019s underway at a small middle school, and four staff members are on administrative leave\u2026 (Elizbeth Schools Probe wrap\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0:57) The Elizabeth school district\u2019s public information officer is Jason Hackett, who says a situation arose there, months ago\u2026 231110 J Hackett- complaints […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rnrnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2041"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2041\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2046,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2041\/revisions\/2046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
