Parents received a letter earlier this week that offered little explanation.
"When I got the letter, it had said that she was gone for an undetermined amount of time. We wondered if there was something like illness or if it was a disciplinary thing. We didn't know. We wished the letter was a little bit more clear on which it was, because there were a lot of questions that my husband and I had," one parent said.
Pittsburgh Public Schools solicitor Ira Weiss told Channel 11 it was a "personnel matter."
