(We should all keep an eye on this one. There is a reason they are not talking.)
An Alameda High School teacher was placed on paid administrative leave this week while officials investigate reports, spokeswoman Donna Fletcher said Wednesday.

The teacher’s leave was not disciplinary, Fletcher said.

The teacher’s name, department and what prompted the school district to take action were not disclosed by the school district at press time.

Students at Alameda High told the Alameda Sun that a teacher was abruptly removed from their third-period class Monday by AHS Principal Mike Janvier.

It is not known if the teacher that was pulled from class Monday is the same teacher on paid administrative leave.

Janvier said Tuesday it was a personnel issue and he declined to comment.
