A Le Roy Central School District has resigned, and his conduct is being investigated by Le Roy Police, according to Superintendent Merritt Holly.
Holly issued a statement to The Batavian following an inquiry about the status of a possible investigation involving a teacher.
According to Holly, John Beckler resigned his teaching position on Tuesday following an investigation by the district. Holly said the district determined that Beckler violated the district's staff-student relations (fraternization) policy by communicating with students via text message and social media on matters unrelated to school.
"The District also referred the matter to the Le Roy Police Department, which is conducting a separate investigation," Holly said. "The district is cooperating fully with that investigation. Because that investigation is ongoing, we will not provide any further comment. The District’s top priority is ensuring a safe learning environment for our students."
Holly invited anyone with additional information to contact Detective James Prusak at (585) 768 - 2527 ext. 2024 or via email - jprusak@leroypolice.org.
