Less than a week after some 300 students walked out of Southern Nevada Vocational Technical Center, Principal Martha Feddersen, a 16-year school district employee, has announced her retirement.

"The district is planning to bring in a substitute administrator until the position is filled," Clark County School District spokeswoman Mary Stanley-Larsen said.

The district would not comment on whether Feddersen's retirement was related to Thursday's protest.

Students walked out of the vocational school after a student who reportedly threatened other students was allowed to return to the school.

A local television station filed a complaint with the district after Feddersen pushed away a microphone, which was being held by a reporter. The reporter was attempting to interview Feddersen.

The investigation into the complaint is continuing.

Feddersen will retire effective April 10.
