HAZLETON – An investigation into allegations of an improper relationship between a teacher and a student is still unfolding, a Hazleton Area School district official said Saturday night.
School district officials are still looking into the teacher-student probe as a personnel matter, according to school board President Elaine Curry. There has not been any board interference at this point, she said.
“It’s under investigation and I can’t really comment,” Curry said. “We were told once the investigation is over we’ll give a report.”
For now, the investigation remains internal, she said.
Attempts to reach Acting Superintendent Sam Marolo were unsuccessful Saturday night.
State police have not been involved in the teacher-student allegations, according to the Hazleton barracks.
No further information has been released.
