Cascade School District #5 places superintendent on paid administrative leave amid lawsuit probe
Summary
The Cascade School District #5 Board unanimously placed Superintendent Darin Drill on paid administrative leave Dec. 3 while a third‑party investigation proceeds into allegations contained in a recent lawsuit; the Board said details are limited while counsel investigates.
Board Chair Brett Stegall and the Cascade School District #5 Board voted Dec. 3 to place Superintendent Darin Drill on paid administrative leave pending the results of a third‑party investigation retained by the District's legal counsel. The Board convened an executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(h) earlier in the meeting and reconvened in public at 5:23 p.m., at which time Vice‑Chair Ruth Stevens read the Board's public statement.
The motion to place Drill on leave was moved by Board Vice‑Chair Ruth Stevens and seconded by Board Member Aaron Lee; the minutes record that the motion "carried (all voted yes)." The statement read by Stevens thanked students, staff and the community for their commitment and said the Board appreciated Mr. Drill's willingness to step aside while the investigation proceeds. The Board did not provide further factual details about the allegations in the public minutes or set a public timeline for the investigation.
