Robbinsdale schools employee arrested for possession of child pornography, authorities say
A Robbinsdale School District school employee is behind bars, accused of having child pornography. Authorities executed a search warrant at a residence in St. Louis Park Tuesday morning. During the search, they say an adult man was arrested for possession of pornographic material involving minors. School leaders say the man has been employed since 2022 and supported staff technology needs at Lakeview and Sonnesyn Elementary Schools. The district is calling the allegations deeply troubling and said the man did not provide direct instruction or supervision of students. School officials say he was not assigned to work with students. In a letter sent to parents Tuesday, Superintendent Dr. Teri Staloch wrote: "We were informed today that a LAN technician who has supported staff technology services at Lakeview and Sonnesyn Elementary Schools was arrested by the St. Louis Park Police Department on suspicion of possession of pornographic material involving minors. These allegations are deeply troubling and upsetting for all of us. This individual is not a classroom educator. Their role is to provide technical support for staff and systems within our schools. While they do not have regular, unsupervised access to students, we recognize that their presence in school buildings may still cause concern. For data privacy reasons, we are not sharing the individual's name. However, we understand that people may learn more about this law enforcement matter through news reports. We are cooperating fully with the St. Louis Park Police Department and are following all necessary protocols to support the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Please know that student safety is always our highest priority. We remain committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and trusting environment for every child, every day." The man is being held at the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center pending felony charges.

Loss of special education program has some Robbinsdale students unsure of future
A Twin Cities family is facing a difficult decision because of school budget cuts. Earlier this spring, Robbinsdale Area Public Schools said a budgeting error led to a $21 million deficit, forcing them to cut more than 200 staff members and teachers. "Vehicles are his favorite. All day long he talks about them. He takes apart his vehicles. All day long I find little wheels everywhere," said Cassidy Landman about her son, Athan. Athan Landman has faced plenty of challenges during his seven years of life. He's been diagnosed with autism and ADHD and he missed kindergarten because of a serious health issue. "They found out he has the rare brain disease, moyamoya," said Cassidy Landman. But the Landmans said that even when their son was in the hospital, his teacher Katherine Hibbs would visit. "Legitimately one of the greatest teachers out there right now," said Sean Landman, Athan's dad. Hibbs is a special needs teacher in the WAVE program at Zachary Lane Elementary in Plymouth. When Athan Landman finally got to school, the Landmans said WAVE made the transition much easier. "He came up and was like, 'Hey, I made a friend today.' And I started tearing up like, 'You made a friend today buddy? That's awesome,'" said Sean Landman. But now the Landmans believe the teacher, the program and the school their son has adapted to are being taken away, in part because of Robbinsdale's budget shortfall. "These kids need consistency and this is not consistent," said Cassidy Landman. The school district has confirmed that WAVE will no longer be at Zachary Lane, but the program will continue at other schools. They said the decision was not driven by budget reductions, but rather by a "responsibility to provide appropriate high quality services for students with disabilities." For Athan Landman's family, it's all about the unknown at this point. They said they still don't have confirmation on where his next school will be or what kind of program will be available to him. And they say their son needs time to adapt. They worry this will be the start of Athan Landman and other special needs students moving from school to school each year. "I feel frustrated. I feel very frustrated for my son," said Cassidy Landman. The Landmans said they started receiving newsletters from another elementary school, but haven't been told that's the school their son is being moved to. If Athan Landman is moved, the family said they'll look to move to another district or homeschool.
