Board of Education Releases Investigative Report

Monday afternoon the Board of Education released findings of a seven-month probe into allegations of harassment in the school district.

The report comments on a number of allegations, dismissing some.  The investigators concluded that although not always with definitive proof, some alleged incidents occurred "more likely than not."

The report concludes: "In sum, Thompson Hine (ed. note: investigative attorneys) substantiated separate and distinct instances of misconduct by three Central Office Administrators. Although not always definitive, the findings of fact highlight areas of deficiency in the administration and operation of the school district which are generally consistent with many of the allegations presented to the Board in the fall of 2021. In light of this information, the Board will take corrective action, as appropriate. "

There is no indication in the report about what actions the BOE will take.
