WTAJ News has learned late Friday afternoon that the Board of Trustees at Bishop McCort High School has placed Principal Ken Salem on paid administrative leave.
A spokesperson for the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese confirmed it was the boards decision entirely to place him on leave.
The Bishop McCort Board of Trustees released the following statement:
“Dear Bishop McCort Family,
The entire Bishop McCort Catholic High School Board of Trustees would first and foremost like to thank you for your continued support. Without your support, countless children and their families in the Johnstown area would not be able to receive a high quality Catholic academic and spiritual education.
Effective immediately, Mr. Ken Salem will no longer serve as Principal of Bishop McCort Catholic High School. In Mr. Salem’s place, the Bishop McCort Board of Trustees has unanimously appointed our current Assistant Principal, Dr. D.A. Gardill, to fill the position of Acting Principal on an interim basis.
