Jefferson County Schools puts the safety of our students at the forefront of all we do. Our staff receives training on numerous protocols and practices to ensure student safety in our schools. An employee at Jefferson High School used that training on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023, when they reported another employee for allegedly making inappropriate comments to a student in an aggressive manner. Following our safety protocol, the employee was immediately removed, and we contacted law enforcement to initiate an investigation. The families of impacted students have been notified. Any inappropriate behavior verified as part of the ongoing investigation will be shared with those involved as part of our partnership with our families in keeping kids safe.
