ASHLAND — An Edison Elementary School employee was fired Tuesday from working for Ashland City Schools.
The district terminated one Edison Elementary noon-duty paraprofessional employee following “confirmed misconduct,” according to a press release issued by the district Friday afternoon.
A second Edison Elementary noon-duty paraprofessional employee has been placed on paid administrative leave pending investigation into “alleged misconduct,” the release said.
Both employees were immediately removed from their duties once the district became aware of these concerns, according to the release. The district is actively conducting thorough investigations in collaboration with the Ashland Police Division and its school resource officers.
“We are committed to ensuring a fair and comprehensive process for all individuals involved,” the release said. “At this time, there is no ongoing risk to students, and appropriate steps have been taken to maintain a safe school environment.
“Student and staff safety remains our highest priority. As part of our core value to ‘create a circle of safety,’ we will continue to take all concerns seriously and act decisively to uphold a safe and respectful school environment.”
No other details were made available Friday evening beyond those included in the press release.
