Two former school administrators in Covington are out on bond following their arrests for reportedly failing to report child abuse.

Police took Lauryn Faciane and Tanya Barth into custody on Thursday.

Faciane was the principal at E.E. Lyon Elementary School, where Barth was the assistant principal. Both women are accused of violating the state's mandatory reporting law.

Details of the incidents that led to the investigation haven't been released.

Faciane and Barth both still work for the district, but not at Lyon Elementary.
