Rich Hill schools offer statement regarding former employee

This statement is in response to questions the district has received about a former district employee.  The district cannot provided detailed information about most aspects of a personnel matter.  However, there is some limited information we can provide.  

First, we can confirm that the individual in question is no longer employed by the district.  The district is also aware that the former employee is being investigated by one or more outside agencies.  However, the individual resigned from the district before the administration became aware of any allegations or the investigation, and no reason for the resignation was provided.  

Based on the limited information available to the district, it appears that none of the conduct being investigated occurred at school or during school activities.  Nevertheless, the district will provide its full cooperation during any investigation regarding the matter.  

This is the full extent of the information that the school district can provide.  Any additional information will have to come from the agency or agencies that are conducting the investigation.  But we can assure you that the district is absolutely committed to providing a safe working and learning environment for our students and staff.  We are a small, but dedicated school community – a school family.  We will support each other with kindness and empathy as those most deeply affected by these events work through this difficult situation.  Finally, we want to thank the entire community for the support it is showing to those who need it most, and to the school district and its mission to provide the best education possible for all of our students.
