Allen is a paraprofessional at Arlington Middle School, and Clemons works at Carter G. Woodson Elementary School as a data entry clerk, records show. Their personnel files have not been made public, and details on exactly why the three were suspended are unclear.

Collins, a former principal of John Stockton Elementary School, was arrested in December and charged with two counts of grand theft. He was accused of stealing money that was donated to the school.

Collins pleaded not guilty. Court records show in June that Collins entered a felony pretrial intervention program.
