Dear Warren Township Community,
We are writing to let you know that the MSD of Warren Township acknowledges the allegations involving the treatment of student-athletes by a dance team coach.
We want our community to know that we take this situation very seriously and are conducting an internal investigation and fully cooperating with local authorities. Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation and the fact that there is potential litigation, we cannot share further details at this time.
Please know that the coach submitted and we accepted her resignation from the coaching position earlier this week. We are unable to comment further as this is an ongoing personnel matter. What we can say is that we will address the matter adhering to our policies and procedures while reflecting our local values.
We are deeply saddened by this report, and our priority is to support our students. Counselors and district staff are available for students and families who may need assistance. Moving forward, the district will continue to provide support to those impacted and will review health and coaching standards, policies, and practices with all coaches and advisors to help ensure that an incident like this does not happen again.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we work to regain your trust and maintain a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every student.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tim Hanson
Superintendent
Rachel Burke
Warren School Board President
