NJ Principal On Leave Because Of Probe

Officials have placed a New Jersey high school principal on paid administrative leave because he's the subject of an investigation.

Freehold Regional High School District school board president Heshy Moses tells the Asbury Park Press the probe of Manalapan High School principal Jeff Simon involves his role as principal and does not involve students.

Moses says board members have been advised by their attorneys not to comment further or disclose the reason for the administrative leave.
