Kasunich placed on paid leave

The Trinity Area School Board has placed Superintendent Paul Kasunich on paid administrative leave because of allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend.
The board met with its solicitor Thomas Breth in executive session Friday to discuss the matter and Breth talked to Kasunich over the weekend.
Breth said Monday that the leave will be in place until further notice. He said the board will continue to monitor the situation and make decisions as more information becomes available. Assistant Superintendent Yvonne Weaver has been asked to fulfill Kasunich’s duties as long as he is out of the district, Breth said.
