The following is a release from Floyd County Schools:
The Floyd County School District is aware of a criminal indictment against a district employee.
Upon first notice of this matter the district took immediate steps to ensure that students were safe and the employee was placed into a position where she would not be working with, or around, district students.
The District takes allegations of wrongdoing very seriously and has cooperated with law enforcement throughout the investigation of these claims while balancing the safety and wellbeing of our students with the legal rights of the employee.
We will continue to prioritize the safety of our students and staff throughout these proceedings.
Due to the ongoing nature of these proceedings, the District cannot comment on specific allegations or personnel matters.
