The principal of Sunrise Middle School, Teresa Robinson, provided a statement to Fox News Digital noting, “We have been notified by law enforcement that the assistant principal has been arrested in connection with allegations involving a minor that do not involve our school. Our highest priority was the safety of the students. The individual was immediately removed from the school and will have no further contact with students.”
“Since that time, we have spoken to students in age-appropriate ways, contacted families directly, and made counseling support available on campus. We have also provided clear ways for anyone in our community to share concerns. At this time, there is no information to indicate that any Sunrise students are involved. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement. While this is deeply saddening to us, our statement does not identify our families,” our families’ statement said. noted.
