Dr. Lori Wilson, Superintendent of the West Plains School District, recently addressed rumors surrounding a former employee. “District officials received notification from law enforcement authorities on February 6, 2020, regarding an employee’s potential misconduct, which occurred outside of the district and did not involve any students. The employee was immediately given due process, placed on administrative leave and is no longer employed with the district. Our first priority is the safety of our students, and the district strives to keep students, parents and our community informed within the confines of the law. The district is unable to release confidential information pertaining to personnel. Any ongoing investigation is being handled by the proper legal authorities, and any additional questions regarding the specific incident in question should be directed to law enforcement officials.”
Dr. Wilson acknowledged that the former employee’s departure and rumors surrounding it are upsetting to students and parents. “I urge you to take this opportunity to open or continue conversations with your child,” she said. “Open dialogue and parental guidance is essential in supporting your student.”
