The director of special education for the Vicksburg Warren School District was expected back at work today after serving a three-day suspension for unspecified reasons.

Eddie Spann was placed on leave Thursday, he confirmed when reached by phone at his home. He did not comment further.

Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Swinford said Spann was placed on “leave with pay.” Citing a “personnel matter,” Swinford would not comment on the reason for the leave.

Swinford and other district officials met with Spann Monday, she said, to work out the details of his return to duty.

Spann, a resident of Clinton, was named the district’s special education director in October 2010 at a salary of $77,430.

He was reappointed for the 2012-13 school year by the VWSD trustees in February.
