WHEELING — Two employees of Ohio County Schools were suspended Monday over recent comments they posted on social media.

Board members deliberated for just over one hour Monday night before unanimously accepting the recommendation from Superintendent Kim Miller that bus driver Bill Nolan and Unique Robinson-Murphy — a social worker serving as Communities In Schools liaison at Wheeling Park High School — both be suspended for five days for their posts. They also will be required to participate in sensitivity training.

The comments at issue have since been taken down from their Facebook pages.

Miller informed board members before their vote that she had met with both employees and their representatives to discuss the situation “at length,” and both were in agreement with the punishments.
