A McKeesport Area behavioral intervention specialist is on paid leave following an incident between the employee and their daughter, who is a high school student in the district, Superintendent Donald MacFann said Wednesday.
The incident occurred Tuesday afternoon and school officials were made aware within minutes, MacFann said. The employee, who works at the high school, was placed on paid leave the same day.
MacFann declined to provide specifics.
“At this time, there is no threat to the safety of our students, staff or school community,” he said in a statement posted to the district’s social media page Tuesday. “Due to personnel and confidentiality considerations, the district is limited in the information that can be shared.”
School officials reported the incident to ChildLine, a state-mandated child protective services program, MacFann said.
McKeesport police Chief Josh Alfer told TribLive Wednesday the district had not reported the incident to the department and that police were not investigating.
County police also is not investigating, spokesperson Jim Madalinsky told TribLive Wednesday.
