Discipline could be warranted depending on the outcome of the probe and a corrective plan will be developed for the yearbook.

A New Jersey school district has hired an outside law firm to investigate how and why a Jewish student group was erased from the high school yearbook, with the members' names omitted from the page and their photo replaced with a picture of a group of Muslim students.

"I'm confident the independent counsel investigation will reveal the truth," Superintendent Victor Valeski said. "They've been given complete authority to investigate whatever they need to investigate."for "the hurt, pain and anguish this event has caused our Jewish students" and offered a separate apology to Muslim students.

The situation came to light Tuesday after about 375 yearbooks were distributed at East Brunswick High.
