Two Highland staff put on administrative leave

Two High­land staff put on admin­is­tra­tive leave

On Oct. 19, the Mor­row County Sheriff’s Office received a report of pos­si­ble sex­ual mis­con­duct involv­ing a stu­dent at High­land Ele­men­tary. Upon inves­ti­ga­tion, it appears that school staff mem­bers did not fol­low proper pro­to­col of Ohio Revised Code 2151.421, Report­ing Child Abuse or Neglect. As a result, two ele­men­tary school prin­ci­pals have been placed on admin­is­tra­tive leave for not imme­di­ately noti­fy­ing Children’s Ser­vices or law enforce­ment as the statute man­dates. The inves­ti­ga­tion by Mor­row County Sheriff’s Office detec­tives is com­plete and has been turned over to the Mor­row County Prosecutor’s Office for legal review.

Released by Chief Deputy Troy Lan­don, by author­ity of Sher­iff Steven R. Brenneman
