Community raises questions about Booster Club theft and teacher court orders; district says investigations and court process ongoing

Several members of the public used the meeting’s comment period to press the board for details about two serious district‑related matters: an alleged $42,000 theft from a Booster Club and court filings involving a teacher.

A community commenter said the $42,000 theft “was all over the news” and criticized the district for not publicly explaining what policy changes follow the theft. The commenter also said a teacher has a protection‑from‑abuse order and multiple court hearings and asked whether the district is protecting students.

Robin, another commenter, said she was “completely shocked” to see a protection order in the public docket and asked whether the district had provided public statements and a safety plan. She asked if the teacher was on paid medical leave and whether the district had an internal investigation and whether results would be released.

Superintendent’s office staff and the district solicitor responded that personnel matters are confidential and that the district conducts investigations when incidents are reported. The solicitor said the district is “well aware” of the allegations and is reviewing mechanisms, protocols and audits for booster-club and business‑organization controls, but declined to discuss personnel details while legal proceedings are active.

Acting superintendent remarks: The acting superintendent said he was involved in an incident at a recent wrestling match but that administration and other schools worked to calm the situation and that parents were satisfied with the response. He also said the superintendent (Dr. Curio) is on approved medical leave for surgery through March.

Ending: The district said it will follow the court process and internal procedures; no additional public details or personnel actions were released at the meeting because legal matters and personnel confidentiality limit public disclosure.
