Four assistant Sayreville High School football coaches who were suspended in the wake of a sexual assault scandal among players have been reinstated to their teaching jobs.
Without any comment, the Sayreville school board approved the superintendent's request to reinstate the four assistants, less than a month after they had been suspended with pay.
While the four will return to teaching at the high school, head coach George Najjar will remain on suspension for the indefinite future.
There is still no decision on whether the high school's football program will be allowed to resume next year. The season was canceled this year after prosecutors announced they investigation into the alleged hazing, which they said could be considered sexual assaults that were "pervasive."
Seven football players were arrested on charges ranging from hazing and conspiracy to sexual contact and aggravated sexual assault. They've also been suspended from school.
