Two school leaders identified as Tanya Barth and Lauryn Faciane were arrested in Covington, Louisiana, on Wednesday after police alleged the E.E. Lyon Elementary School principal and assistant principal failed to comply with the state's mandatory reporting law on suspected child abuse.
Louisiana law requires school staff to report suspected abuse or neglect promptly; authorities say the charges stem from an investigation by the Covington police Criminal Investigations Division and, because children are involved, officials will not disclose further details about the underlying allegations at this time.
