“Any reports of inappropriate conduct are taken very seriously and reported directly to law enforcement officials.”
“We have strict policies to ensure that any behavior that compromises the safety of our students is not tolerated.”
“We will continue to prioritize the safety of our students above all else.”
Wingerter was charged with suspicion of prohibited sexual conduct between an educator and a student and unlawful purchase of alcoholic beverages on behalf of a person under 21, according to WDSU.
