SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT: TEACHER SEX ALLEGATIONS "DEEPLY DISTURBING"

Beth Daugherty
School board president Beth Daugherty released the following statement Friday in response to the arrest of Columbia High School teacher Nicole Dufault on charges of allegedly having sex with at least five 15-year-old students:


The allegations released by the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office are deeply disturbing. By law, administrators and Board of Education members are not permitted to publicly discuss personnel or individual student matters, or other issues requiring confidentiality.  The Board and administration will continue to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigations. 
I am impressed with the calm professionalism of the CHS and district administrative teams, especially new Principal, Elizabeth Aaron, as they maintain laser-sharp focus on teaching and learning and supporting all students during these very difficult days.

 Background on the case is HERE.
