FREWSBURG – The Frewsburg Central School District’s maintenance supervisor has been relieved of his job.

At a special Sept. 26 meeting, after an executive session, the school board took action to terminate John McLaughlin from his position effective Sept. 25.

In the very brief meeting, the board took no other action.

Since June, McLaughlin had been suspended with pay while the board conducted an internal investigation.

In a related matter, the investigation into the suspension of the superintendent is continuing.

At its Sept. 11 meeting, board president Michael LeBaron stated that the investigation is not paused.

“The board does want the public to know that we are working and it’s continuing, and we are hopeful for a resolution soon.”

In June, the school board suspended, with pay, Dr. Danielle Cook. Board Vice President Polly Hanson also said on Sept. 26 that the board is still investigating Cook and no new information was available.

Cook came to Frewsburg after being superintendent of the Randolph Academy Union Free School District, and a principal at Panama Central School.

A graduate of Penn State Behrend, Cook earned her B.A. in psychology and earned a M.Ed. in Educational Psychology, and Ed.S. in School Psychology from Edinboro University, now known as Pennsylvania Western University, Edinboro.

Also in June, Tiffany Frederes was appointed acting superintendent and continues in that role.
