Assistant principal suspended after ‘disturbing’ accusation surfaces, GA school says
A Georgia school administrator is suspended pending an investigation into claims of “inappropriate involvement” with a student at an Atlanta-area high school.
In a letter to parents, Chattahoochee High School Principal Michael Todd confirmed the allegation against an assistant principal on Wednesday, Nov. 16.
“Be assured I take the health and well-being of our students seriously and this is a top priority,” Todd wrote in the letter obtained by McClatchy News. “If the allegations prove to be true, all available action will be taken.”
Additional details about the incident weren’t immediately available.
Todd called the accusation “disturbing” and said it was immediately reported to the district’s human resources department, according to the letter. Fulton County Schools Police is also investigating the claim, he said.
“These incidents do not represent our school,” Todd concluded.
McClatchy News is declining to name the accused employee because he has not been charged.
Johns Creek is about 30 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta.
