Ohio teacher allegedly shows up to student's home, asks for homework
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — An investigation is underway after a teacher in northwest Ohio allegedly showed up to a student's home.
According to Thomas Hosler, superintendent of Perrysburg Exempted Village School District, a student's family alerted school administrators of a teacher who allegedly came to their residence after a school day and reportedly asked for missing homework.
'During this interaction, a parent arrived home, confronted the teacher on the front porch, and later emailed the building administrators,' said Hosler.
When school and district officials learned of the alleged incident, the teacher was placed on administrative leave.
'The teacher was placed on administrative leave before the start of the next school day and a police investigation was opened about the incident,' Hosler said.
Hosler said that the district encourages families and students to speak up if they have any concerns regarding the district.
'We are grateful to the family who reported this concern immediately, allowing us to act quickly,' said Hosler. 'We encourage all students and families to speak up whenever they have concerns about staff conduct so we can address them right away.'
The district superintendent claims additional information could be provided in the future regarding the incident 'within the limits of the law,' as it cites the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and investigation by law enforcement.
