WARDSVILLE, Mo. (KMIZ)

Blair Oaks Superintendent Jim Jones is on a leave of absence, the school district said.

The district sent out a notice to families on Tuesday, Blair Oaks Board of Education President Jason Pulsmeyer said in an email to ABC 17 News on Wednesday. The board accepted Jones' leave during a special meeting Monday night.

High school Principal Chris Marshall is acting superintendent during Jones' leave, Pulsmeyer said. Marshall was quoted in a news release sent to media Tuesday about an apparent threat on campus.

Jones is married to Kelli Jones, spokeswoman for Gov. Mike Parson.
