Superintendent suspended after Ray McDonald speaks to high school students

Ray McDonald played eight NFL seasons, but his career came to an abrupt end following a string of arrests that included a rape charge. Now, some 18 months since he last was on the field in an NFL game, McDonald is in the news again.

A Heyward, California school board placed superintendent Stan Dobbs on paid administrative leave this week while it investigates his role in bringing McDonald in to talk to at-risk high school students last February.

"I will always continue to put the Made In Hayward children first no matter what non-actions are taken against me in public," Dobbs said Thursday, via MercuryNews.
