WILKES-BARRE -- Several employees in the Wilkes-Barre Area School District are suspended.
The solicitor with the Wilkes-Barre Area School District says that five professional employees at G.A.R. High School are suspended with pay during a district investigation.
The solicitor would not say much more beyond that.
Newswatch 16 did reach out Wilkes-Barre police to see if they are investigating any wrong-doing but have not heard back from the commander of investigations.
Students that Newswatch 16 spoke with say they were surprised by the news. They say they have not heard or noticed anything at the high school.
The suspensions took effect last week as part of a district-wide investigation. There is no word how long the suspensions will last.
