CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — An official for a West Virginia boarding school that was closed as part of an abuse investigation says the school is being sold.

Miracle Meadows School corporate president Kingsley Whitsett tells The Associated Press that a small number of workers remain at the Salem school, taking inventory to prepare for the sale.

He says the school is closed permanently.

Prosecutors in Harrison County charged teacher Timothy Arrington and school founder Susan Gayle Clark in August and the school's state-recognized education status was revoked.

Arrington faces child abuse charges and Clark is accused of knowing about the alleged mistreatment of students. Both have yet to appear for preliminary hearings in Harrison County Magistrate Court.

Nineteen students were removed from the school, which was affiliated with the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
