North Olmsted High School Families,
It has come to the District’s attention that there have been questions and speculation in the community with regard to the absence of Principal Daniel Flood. Mr. Flood has been placed on paid administrative leave pending investigation of allegations reported to the District.
It is critical that the investigative process is carried out and therefore we cannot comment on the pending investigation or speculate as to the outcome. But, we take all allegations of misconduct seriously and as soon as a report was made, we placed Mr. Flood on leave and began the investigation.
In the meantime, Assistant Principal James Koontz will serve as the interim building principal.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate through this process. Rest assured that we will keep you informed of any significant developments, to the extent permitted by law, and while respecting the privacy of all parties involved.
