JOHNSTOWN — Former Bishop McCort Catholic HIgh School Principal Ken Salem, who has been on administrative leave from the school since March 1, announced Wednesday that he has ended his affiliation with the Johnstown school.
Bishop McCort has been involved in a scandal involving Franciscan Brother Stephen Baker.
Baker has been accused of molesting numerous students throughout the 1990s when he worked at the school as a trainer. Baker committed suicide on Jan. 26 by stabbing himself in the heart with a knife.
The school made no mention of the ongoing Baker investigation in its decision to place Salem on leave, but he did mention it in his announcement on Wednesday.
