LAYTON -- The Davis School District has begun an internal investigation into the administration at Layton High School.
District spokesman Chris Williams confirmed Tuesday that Layton High School Principal Paul Smith has been placed on administrative leave while the district conducts an investigation.
Williams also confirmed that a secretary at the high school has retired. He would not comment further on the investigation except to say police are not involved at this point.
"It wouldn't be fair to Paul, or anyone, generally, in any sort of investigation, if we went out and commented on ... our suspicions," Williams says.
He will neither confirm nor deny the new investigation is related to the case of 62-year-old choir director Joseph Everton, who's been on leave while the district investigates his relationship with a former student.
The former student's mother claims her daughter and Everton eloped to Las Vegas last month.
Layton police said Tuesday they won't pursue any criminal action in that case.
