NEWBERRY, MI — The Tahquamenon Area Schools has issued the following statement:
On Wednesday, May 27, the Tahquamenon Area Schools became aware of allegations involving a middle school teacher’s conduct in the classroom. The district immediately began reviewing the matter in accordance with district policy. As part of that process, the district involved its school resource officer and local law enforcement.
Following the investigation, the teacher has resigned and is no longer employed by the district. Because this is a personnel matter, we cannot share further details at this time.
The safety and wellbeing of our students is always our top priority. When concerns are brought forward, we take them seriously, review them promptly, and involve appropriate authorities when needed. We are grateful to those who reported this concern and helped ensure it could be addressed through the proper channels.
We remain committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Shawn Tebo
Superintendent
