Plainview-Elgin-Millville school superintendent Darrin Strosahl made the following statement Tuesday:
“I was not aware of that as Law Enforcement has their own process that is independent of the school district process. We have cooperated with their process and appreciate their work. As always, we expect and appreciate police assistance in continuing to provide a safe and secure community.
I’m sure they will review the investigation report and then determine if charges are properly warranted, as they do with all investigations.
As a school district we felt the behaviors were inappropriate and we took corrective action because student and staff safety is our highest priority.”
