The Diocese of Scranton on Saturday announced that school superintendent Joseph G. Casciano was terminated earlier this month, according to local media reports.

Casciano, who was the subject of an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, requested a leave of absence from his multi-role position as "secretary for Catholic schools/superintendent of schools and acting secretary for parish life and evangelization."

Diocesan Apostolic Administrator Cardinal Justin Rigali, head of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, granted the leave, effective Dec. 28, 2009. Kathleen P. Hanlon was appointed as acting secretary for Catholic schools/superintendent.

Casciano's termination was a personnel matter, according to media reports. The alleged misconduct is being investigated by the Lackawanna County District Attorney's Office.
