The Newburgh Board of Education voted to suspend a top district official with pay while it continues its misconduct investigation.

The decision was made in a meeting Friday after three hours of discussion behind closed doors.

School officials remain tight-lipped about the allegations and who has been suspended but a source tells News 12 it has to do with the district's policy surrounding discrimination.

News 12 reached out to the Newburgh school district, but it said it doesn't comment on personnel matters.

The next board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday.
