Cherokee Principal Chris Meisinger has been placed on administrative leave with pay effective immediately, pending the outcome of the District's investigation into all circumstances related to teacher David Renaud's conduct. This action was taken in order not to compromise the District's investigation and after the District learned today from police officials of new allegations and charges against Mr. Renaud.

We reiterate our intent to do whatever is necessary to investigate the matter and take every action appropriate based on the outcome of that investigation. We will continue to keep the community informed, however, we must reserve further comment until our investigation is completed.

In the interim, we will assign another principal to Cherokee Elementary School.
