A statement expected this afternoon from Rick Hartigan, St. Joseph School District Chief Operating Officer who was placed on administrative leave with pay by the St. Joseph School Board last month has been canceled.
A representative with the Law Office of Michael Insco contacted the St. Joseph Post Thursday morning to say that Hartigan wished to make a statement to reporters at 1 p.m.
However, the statement was canceled less than an hour before the scheduled meeting.
Hartigan has been with the school district for more than 25 years.
The representative said it is not known at this time if the statement will be reschedule or made at all.
