LA GRANDE, Ore. -- The former superintendent of the La Grande School District was released from jail after someone posted bail for him.

Irv Nikolai was arrested last week following accusations he sexually abused a child at a birthday party in Hillsboro.

The 71-year-old resigned hours after he was arrested in his office. He had been serving as the interim superintendent and was scheduled to leave the job in June.

 Background: Nikolai accused of sex abuse

The Union County Sheriff's Office says Nikolai was released late Tuesday from the county jail in La Grande after someone in Washington County posted $100,000 bail for him. The amount is 10 percent of the $1 million bail set by a judge in Washington County.
