CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — The superintendent for Circleville City Schools has released a letter to parents addressing a criminal investigation into the school’s nurse.
The nurse — who the Guardian is not naming because charges have yet to be filed — is under investigation for allegations that she was having sexual relations with students.
The Guardian was the first to tell you about the investigation last week.
In the letter sent home to parents on Tuesday, Dr. Kimberly Halley said the nurse was removed from her assignment at the district and police were notified when the school learned of the accusation.
“On January 26, 2022, the Circleville City Schools Administration was notified of a complaint regarding [the nurse] who was serving as a nurse at Circleville High School,” Halley wrote. “Upon receiving this complaint, the Administration immediately contacted the Circleville Police Department. The District further contacted the nurse’s employer and requested that the nurse not report to CHS until further notice. The nurse has not worked in our buildings since that time. The Circleville Police Department is conducting an active criminal investigation of the …. employee and, therefore, the District is not able to release any additional information at this time.
The safety and security of our students and staff is the top priority of the District. We will continue to work closely with the Circleville Police Department as this investigation moves forward. We would like to thank the local officers and detectives for their assistance with this matter. It is our mission to maximize the achievement of each student in a safe environment.”
Circleville Police Chief Shawn Baer said he could not comment on the active investigation.
