Letter to Keystone Oaks Families

September 23, 2016


Parents/Guardians:

The Keystone Oaks School District has become aware of allegations of inappropriate behavior between a teacher employed at Keystone Oaks High School and high school students. While we cannot discuss personnel matters, and also want to protect students and their families to the greatest extent possible, we wanted to inform you of this situation.

At this time, the District is cooperating with the Mt. Lebanon Police Department and other authorities as they conduct their investigations. The employee was immediately placed on paid administrative leave when the administration became aware of the allegations.

The Keystone Oaks School District Administration and Board of School Directors’ top priority is to protect students and provide a safe, secure environment for students to learn and grow. The district provided training to our staff on protocols related to inappropriate conduct with students at an in-service training prior to the start of the 2016-2017 school year.

As a District, we are deeply concerned about these allegations and will take all necessary actions to safeguard the physical, emotional and educational well-being of all students.

Sincerely,

William P. Stropkaj, Ed.D.
Superintendent
