Louise Hinz appointed to South Washington County School board
Former South Washington County School District board member Louise Hinz is coming back to the board.
The school board last month voted unanimously to appoint Hinz, of Afton, to fill the position vacated by former school board member Pat Driscoll. Driscoll resigned after moving out of the district.
Board members agreed to follow previous procedure and appoint an experienced school board member who had served within the past four years, said Shawn Hogendorf, director of communications and community relations for South Washington County Schools.
Hinz, a longtime teacher in the district, was previously elected to the board in November 2019 and served one term.
Hinz started teaching elementary school in the South Washington County School District in 1996 and later taught math at Woodbury Middle School from 2009 until her retirement in 2018.
Hinz will be sworn in March 27 and will serve until the next general election in November, Hogendorf said.

Philadelphia-area school district leader reflects on new AI safety system added this year
Some schools in Upper Darby have a new security system powered by artificial intelligence Some schools in Upper Darby have a new security system powered by artificial intelligence Some schools in Upper Darby have a new security system powered by artificial intelligence As the 2024–2025 school year wraps up, the superintendent of Delaware County's largest school system is reflecting on the impact of new technology designed to keep students safe. Upper Darby School District Superintendent Daniel McGarry said since its installation on Dec.11, 2024, Evolv has detected a total of seven knives or box cutters, two brass knuckles and seven pepper spray devices across the three schools. "We don't have any evidence that these weapons were coming on campus as a use of force," McGarry said. "It was usually an awkwardness like, 'I had this because I was cutting food.'" Evolv, which utilizes artificial intelligence to scan for potential weapons, was installed at Upper Darby High School, Beverly Hills Middle School and Drexel Hill Middle School. "There was fear and some trepidation that it would take hours to get kids into the school, that we would over-identify and improperly search kids," McGarry said. "Thanks to the work of our kids and our school community, none of those things actually happened." When staff found weapons, they confiscated them and turned them over to police. Police conducted a background check on families and, in some cases, a threat assessment. Students were disciplined for having a weapon on school property, but they were not determined to be a threat in any of the cases. Installing a weapons-detection system had been in the works for years, but the idea gained renewed interest after two firearms-related incidents in the district at the beginning of the school year. McGarry said a student brought a gun to Upper Darby High School on Sept. 3, 2024, and then 10 days later, another student brought in an AR-15-style magazine. McGarry previously told CBS News Philadelphia the weapons detection system is "not a metal detector." The superintendent said it's the same technology used at Lincoln Financial Field. "Since we had the gun in the beginning of the school year, we have not found any guns on any individuals on campus at any of our secondary schools," McGarry said. Certain harmless objects like Chromebooks are known to set off the scanners. "We had almost 800,000 visitors from Dec. 11 to the last time we gave this update, which was this past month," Superintendent McGarry said. "Of those 800,000 visitors, there were 70,000 alerts. The vast majority of those alerts were for umbrellas, computers left in backpacks and eyeglass kits." McGarry said he is confident that as students continue to get used to the technology, they will be more forthcoming about removing their laptops and eyeglass cases from their backpacks. "To put anything in the middle of the school year, just weeks before you go on winter break, and to have the success we have, speaks to the type of people who work at this organization," McGarry said.

‘It is appalling': Parents file lawsuit against PBL teacher, district, admin
PAXTON, Ill. (WCIA) — A lawsuit is peeling back the curtain of what parents said their children faced while at school and practice in Ford County. It includes accusations of grooming and sexually assaulting kids for more than a decade — and the families feel the Paxton-Buckley-Loda School District didn't do enough to stop it. WCIA previously reported about complaints around teacher and coach Robert Pacey. The suit calls him out… But doesn't stop there. Three people, including two parents, are suing the PBL school district and several administrators for what they said is a lack of action. PBL District 210 Superintendent announces resignation The suit said the PBL Junior High administration was made aware that Pacey needed to improve his interactions with students in 2009. That's when accusations of inappropriate touching and behavior started. A lawyer representing those who filed the suit said it only got worse from there. 'One of the main frustrations for people in the community is that there have been so many reports,' Chicago-based lawyer Bhavani Raveendran said. Reports stretch back 16 years. Raveendran filed the suit and said allegations about teacher and coach Robert Pacey only continued from there. The PBL School District got several more complaints about his behavior from students and several teachers as well. 'So many individuals reaching out and speaking out about prior reports that have been made, and they have been coming out of the woodwork on social media and in other sources,' Raveendran said. Special prosecutor investigating 2 Ford Co. teachers accused of inappropriate conduct with students But the suit said it didn't stop despite these red flags. It said two students who attended PBL Junior High both told principal Josh Didier that Pacey was extremely inappropriate with girls in class. The document said he touched students — looked up and down their skirts — and accidentally touched their breasts. 'It does not appear that a lot of action was taken to protect kids in the event that these were complaints that were being made based on incidents that did occur,' Raveendran said. The suit said another one of those happened in 2021 involving the plaintiff named Minor A. She said Pacey hit her on the head at a track meet and said if she didn't shut up he was going to tape her mouth shut. She said she experienced headaches days after. A couple months later she said she was at a practice Pacey was running. She said he told her she needed to change her shorts because they were not what she would race in. When she went into the locker room — she said Pacey followed her inside and made her change into tighter ones in front of him. GCMS school board votes to dismiss teacher after alleged inappropriate texts to student Between 2009 and 2021, the lawsuit said he was moved between positions — suspended — but never fired and an investigation with DCFS was never started. 'Multiple of my clients are students that do not want to see younger students put in a similar situation,' Raveendran said. They're asking for $50,000 plus legal costs for each of the 14 counts alleged. WCIA reached out to the PBL School District several times several times on Tuesday — and was told they didn't have anyone in to handle it. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Crestview High School teacher arrested for alleged sexual relationship with student in early 2000s
OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) — A longtime teacher in Okaloosa County has been arrested and charged following an investigation into an alleged sexual relationship with a student that began more than two decades ago. Timothy John Sexton, 58, a current teacher at Crestview High School and former teacher at Pryor Middle School, was taken into custody Tuesday morning at his home in Holt. The arrest was carried out by the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) and the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force. According to the OCSO, Sexton is accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a female student between April 2001 and July 2005. Investigators say the relationship began when the victim was 14 years old and continued until she was 17. Sexton faces charges of sexual battery by a person in custodial authority and sexual battery involving a victim between the ages of 12 and 18. He is currently being held at the Okaloosa County Jail without bond. The investigation began in late March 2025 after the sheriff's office and the Okaloosa County School District received a tip through the FortifyFL app, a platform designed to report suspicious activity in Florida schools. Interviews with the victim and other witnesses ultimately led investigators to establish probable cause for Sexton's arrest. 'There is no expiration date on seeking justice for victims,' Sheriff Eric Aden said in a statement. 'This arrest underscores our unwavering commitment to pursuing the truth, no matter how much time has passed. We are proud of the work done by our investigators and encourage anyone who has been a victim to come forward.' The Okaloosa County School District confirmed Sexton had been placed on administrative leave following the initial report and will now be recommended for suspension without pay pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings. 'Our teachers are held to the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and integrity when it comes to the safety and well-being of our students,' Superintendent Marcus Chambers said in a statement. 'Despite the significant time that has passed, if the allegations against this employee are substantiated, we will respond swiftly and appropriately. This is a zero-tolerance issue.' The school district said it had immediately notified the Florida Department of Children and Families and the sheriff's office upon receiving the FortifyFL report. No additional details about the victim are being released due to the nature of the charges. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
