Bruce MacBain has spent three decades working in the Moravia Central School District. Last month he was placed on paid leave for reasons, according to him, never disclosed by the school board.
MacBain posted on his Facebook page he hasn’t done anything immoral, adding there was no hint or warning from the district. He became principal of the middle and high school last spring.
On the district’s website, John Birmingham is now listed as interim principal. MacBain has been on paid administrative leave since March 11th.
