The board of Yeshiva Schools of Pittsburgh has reinstated its assistant principal after concluding he posed no risk following an internal investigation of allegations surrounding his conduct as a minor more than a decade ago.

The board of the private Squirrel Hill school had placed him on leave in March pending investigation by independent attorneys hired by the board. They looked into allegations that the staff member, now 29, had engaged in inappropriate conduct in other states as a minor, said attorney Mark Rush, representing the board.

“We did not find anything that warrants any further review by the board,” said Mr. Rush, adding there was no evidence either of criminal wrongdoing or of any risk to students.

He said the board also had referred the matter to Pittsburgh police and that no concerns were raised. Police spokeswoman Alicia George said the bureau had no comment.

Mr. Rush said the board’s vote to restore the assistant principal was unanimous and that board members related to him abstained from the vote. School parents were told of the news in a conference call, he said.

Mr. Rush said the investigation concluded there was no evidence the staff member “ever posed or will pose a risk more than you or I to the students of Yeshiva Schools.”
