Cary High School band director suspended with pay while district investigates complaint
Cary High School band director Matt Minick has been suspended with pay while the Wake County school system investigates a complaint made against the teacher.
In a letter sent Tuesday to parents, Cary High principal Nolan Bryant said that Minick was suspended March 5 and that he can’t go into details about the investigation because of personnel laws. But Bryant said he wanted to address the “unfounded rumors about this situation.”
“With Mr. Minick’s consent, I am able to inform you that at this time, this matter does not involve any allegations of physical interactions,” Bryant said in the letter.
The school district says that this is the first time Minick has been suspended.
In the meantime, Bryant said that a substitute teacher, a professional band clinician and a volunteer will work with band students to help them prepare for upcoming competitions.
