Marietta City Schools teacher faces unspecified charges | News, Sports, Jobs

Charges have been filed against a Marietta City Schools teacher.

“We are aware of the allegations regarding one of our staff members and we are taking the situation very seriously,” Marietta City Schools Interim Superintendent Alison Woods said in a district Facebook post Thursday afternoon.

Woods said in the post that the district refrained from making a public statement at the time the allegations were made out of respect and consistent with the law enforcement investigative process.

“Regardless of this, as soon as we learned of the allegations, we took swift action – ordering the teacher home, directing the teacher to have no contact with students or staff, and banning the teacher from school property. “ the statement said.

Woods said in the post that ensuring the safety and care of students in the district’s schools is his top priority.

“We are cooperating fully with local law enforcement and will continue to do so,” she said in the post.

Requests for comment on the situation and information about the allegations from Marietta City Schools Communications Coordinator Christian Hudspeth, Marietta Police Chief Katherine Warden, Marietta Police Capt. Ryan Huffman and Marietta Police Capt. Aaron Nedeff were not returned as of press time.

Woods responded to requests for comment, saying the district had no further comment at this time.
