ROCKY RIVER, Ohio As police have reopened an investigation into alleged inappropriate by high school teachers, the Rocky River School Board is holding a special meeting Thursday to discuss the situation.
The board meeting will be held at 4 p.m. in executive session “to discuss personnel: investigation of charges or complaints against a public employee or official.”
Earlier this week, the Rocky River Police Department said the investigation was relaunched after they were made aware that undisclosed information may exist that indicates evidence of criminal activity. Reopening of the investigation happened just days after the department previously determined there was insufficient evidence of criminal activity to file any charges.
