     (AP) – Officials with Fayetteville Public Schools say five
employees have been placed on administrative leave after a 6-year-old boy went
missing from a school playground and later died after being found unresponsive
in a nearby swimming pool.
     Authorities say 6-year-old Adron Benton died at a Little Rock hospital last
week after the incident. Fayetteville television station KHOG reported Tuesday
that the five employees have been placed on leave.
     Officials are still investigating what happened when the boy went missing
during recess at Vandergriff Elementary School, but say that a fence will be
installed at the school's playground.
     District's superintendent Matthew Wendt has said the community is "devastated"
by the death.
