The situation came to light when the Bolingbrook Police Department recently alerted the district to an investigation concerning alleged inappropriate behavior by a staff member towards a student.

The district said it then placed that staff member on administrative leave and started its own investigation, which revealed misconduct allegations against two additional employees. The district placed those employees on administrative leave, as well.

The district on Monday said all three of those employees have been fired.

Support for students and staff are being offered, the district added, and encouraged anyone with information related to the allegations to contact law enforcement or VVSD Director of Safety and Security Dr. Carter Larry.

The district says the Bolingbrook Police Department’s investigation is ongoing.
