Principal at Arlington Catholic High School placed on leave

ARLINGTON, Mass. — The Principal at Arlington Catholic High School has been put on leave according to school officials.

In a note sent to parents, Vice Principal Linda Butt said the decision stems from allegations that took place after a Sunday detention.

“We have no reason to believe at this time it involves allegations of sexual abuse,” the letter said.

Stephen Biagioni has been an long-time administrator at the school and students that spoke to FOX25 said they are shocked.

“He’s a good guy, he always helps us not get in trouble, he’s always there when we need him, we all like him,” Alex Ditavitian, a sophomore at the school, said.
