Heidi O’Leary, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools at MSAD 75 released a statement and video concerning a situation regarding a former MSAD 75 employee. That employee worked at Mt. Ararat High School and Mt. Ararat Middle School in Topsham. No specifics were given concerning the investigation.
On May 2, the Portland Police Department informed MSAD 75 of its investigation into an employee, who no longer works for the district. No arrests have been made or charges filed at this time.
O’Leary said:
Without question, the highest responsibility we have as a district is to protect you and our staff, while keeping families informed, complying with the law, and respecting the right of due process… It is very important that we allow the police to conduct their investigation so the remaining questions can be answered. For now, our top priority is supporting students and staff as they process this news as we close out this school year and look forward to the summer.
