A staff member at Achievement First High School is on leave due to a police investigation, school officials confirmed Monday.
Achievement First spokesperson Amanda Pinto said school officials learned of a police investigation into one of their staffers Friday. That person was immediately placed on unpaid leave and will not be in the school building pending the outcome of the investigation.
Police and the Department of Children and Families are involved in the investigation. The school also launched its own internal investigation.
“Our top priority at Achievement First Hartford High is to provide all children with a safe, supportive environment in which they can thrive academically and socially. We take very seriously any event that impacts the safety of any of our students or families,” Pinto wrote.
No other details were immediately available.
