At an early morning meeting Thursday, the Pottsville Area school board decided to convert the status of Stephen C. Curran, the former business manager, from paid to unpaid leave.
According to the Republican Herald, the board then authorized its administration to prepare a statement of charges against him if necessary.
Curran was put on administrative leave Nov. 6 for undisclosed reasons.
Richard A. Thornburg, the board solicitor, said the school district has not made a decision to fire Curran, and that he is still considered an employee.
Curran’s attorney stated that it’s important to stress that there is absolutely no merit to any position that money is missing or Mr. Curran did anything improper or criminal with district funds.
