VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) A high school principal who was placed on leave amid an investigation was reinstated only to be placed on leave again.
Evergreen Public Schools on Thursday placed Mountain View High Principal Matt Johnson on paid leave for sending an email to staff saying the complaints in the investigation were not supported with credible evidence, The Columbian reported.
Bill Oman, the district’s senior director of secondary education, said that statement was inaccurate because the investigation did identify some concerns that need to be addressed. The district first placed Johnson on leave March 16 pending an independent investigation of staff complaints.

At Tuesday’s school board meeting, directors authorized the replacement of Mill Plain Elementary, which sits at 400 S.E. 164th Ave.
The district cited cost-saving efforts in construction during COVID-19, accelerated timelines and the use of a prototype elementary design as part of its efforts to add Mill Plain Elementary and its project list from a voter-approved 2018 bond to build, rebuild and enhance several schools.

There’s been no one-size-fits-all educational model this school year, and the same goes for expanding in-person instruction for Clark County’s largest school districts.
On Wednesday, Evergreen Public Schools announced it will stick to its current hybrid learning model and not expand to four-day-a-week, in-person learning, while neighboring Vancouver Public Schools will transition select grades for increased classroom instruction.
