In a letter, the school says Assistant Head of Schools Ken Goleski has resigned.

Four faculty members have been told they will not finish the school year.
Administration says some faculty unprofessionally shared previous personnel decisions with students.

All classes and advisories taught by the four dismissed faculty members were redistributed to other faculty members for the remainder of the school year.

Sewickley Academy is also bringing in a consulting firm to help the students and staff cope with what took place. The school says he is an expert in talking about diversity, equity and inclusion.

At the bottom of the letter, officials say they were proud of the students who staged the walk-out last week, as well as supported in their demonstration.
