From the Superintendent of Nordonia Hills City Schools,
Dear Nordonia Families,
The Nordonia Hills City School District holds student and staff safety as its highest priority.
On Tuesday, December 6, an allegation was brought to my attention by the high school administration regarding photos and statements sent via social media from a staff member to a Nordonia High School student. This employee worked as a part-time high school paraprofessional since October 2022 and coached freshman baseball last spring and freshman football this fall. In accordance with Nordonia Hills City Schools Board of Education policies, the administration began an investigation and reported the allegations to the Macedonia Police Department and the Ohio Department of Education. At an investigatory meeting on Tuesday, the staff member resigned, effective immediately. The school district will continue to work in cooperation with the Macedonia Police Department regarding the situation. The administration and staff will also continue to support the student involved and those affected by these circumstances.
Creating a safe environment for our students is our top priority, and the Nordonia Hills City School District has high expectations for staff members’ conduct. We are grateful to the individual who brought the concerns to our attention, and we encourage all students, families, and community members to always share any concerns with a staff member or administrator, or utilize our anonymous Safer Ohio Tipline via text or call at 1-844-SaferOH (1-844-723-3764).
As always, thank you for your continued support of the Nordonia Schools.
Sincerely,
Joe Clark, Ph.D.
Superintendent
