Armstrong School District addresses rumors of "inappropriate relationships" as police confirm investigation
Pennsylvania State Police confirmed an investigation is underway at Armstrong School District after the administration said it's aware of rumors about "inappropriate relationships" between students and staff.
Police on Tuesday confirmed an investigation at the school district but declined to provide any more details, saying only that no charges have been filed.
In a statement, the Armstrong School District acknowledged rumors of "inappropriate relationships" between students and staff, but said it can't comment on "confidential personnel matters."
"The district has zero tolerance for any conduct that compromises student safety or well-being, and cooperates fully with our local and state law enforcement partners on any matters related to the safety of students and staff," the statement read.
State police addressed speculation online, saying troopers were not involved in removing any teachers from school property last week. And while the district acknowledged the rumors, investigators haven't confirmed whether the allegations have been substantiated.
With few answers coming from both sides, parents say the lack of information is only fueling concern.
