Two educators at Jordan Elementary Community School in Rogers Park have been removed from the classroom pending the outcome of an investigation into alleged misconduct, Chicago Public Schools confirmed Thursday.

A second-grade teacher and an assistant principal at the pre-K to 8th grade school, 7414 N. Wolcott, are being investigated.

“CPS is reassigning both employees away from the classroom pending the outcome of our investigation,” district spokeswoman Keiana Barrett said in an emailed statement.

CPS didn’t respond to questions about the educators’ positions at the school, the allegations, when the investigation began and whether police had been notified.
