The Finest in Education Reporting

In the "How the hell does that qualify as journalism?" department, here's a story online right now at the Tacoma News Tribune:

Co-principal, other employee placed on leave after complaint

The co-principal of Lakes High School and another Lakes staff member were placed on paid administrative leave Tuesday while a parent’s complaint is investigated.
Clover Park School District spokeswoman Kim Prentice would not describe the allegation.

In response to a News Tribune inquiry, she confirmed co-principal Brian Laubach was placed on leave, but would not disclose the other employee’s name. She did not know how long the two would be on administrative leave.

Lakes co-principal Georgia Dewhurst will handle duties while Laubach is on leave, though the district might get a substitute administrator at some point.

It certainly piques the curiosity, but is this really newsworthy? When you don't know the parent, don't know one of the parties involved, don't know the complaint, and aren't getting anything from the district, aren't you maybe rushing things when you put out a story like this?
