Parents allege long‑running misconduct; board says matter investigated, no misconduct found

Several parents and residents used the public‑comment period at the Randolph County School System board meeting to allege that a physical‑education teacher had been the subject of accusations of misconduct for approximately 12 years. An anonymous commenter said the employee had been allowed to move between schools, including into an elementary setting, and urged immediate action to protect students.

Chair (speaker 1) responded that the district and law enforcement had investigated the matter and that "no misconduct was found." The chair reminded speakers that board policy prohibits naming individual staff members or making personal attacks during public comment and said the board would not engage in back‑and‑forth during the meeting. Administrators directed anyone with information to submit it through the district's administrative review process.

Other commenters described personal or family experiences they said were related to the employee and said they had lost confidence in the district's staffing decisions. One resident said they had been pulling their child from gym class and kept them in the car because they did not feel the child was safe. An administrator (speaker 10) cautioned that the board could not discuss confidential personnel matters in open session.

The board did not take formal action on any personnel matter during the meeting; the comments were recorded as public comment and the chair emphasized the district's policy and investigative process. The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after the public‑comment period ended.

Ending: The district did not announce any new findings or personnel actions during the meeting; officials reiterated that allegations should be submitted through the district's administrative review channels.
