Dear Kewaskum Families,
On Friday afternoon, April 5, we received a call from a parent with concerns about our School Resource Officer. We immediately contacted the Kewaskum Police Department, who then requested the West Bend Police Department to conduct an independent investigation.
The investigation revealed inappropriate conduct toward an 18-year-old female student. He was arrested and is in custody at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. He is being held on charges of Sex Assault by School Staff – 948.095(2) and Misconduct in Public Office – 946.12(2). In addition, the Officer will be restricted from all Kewaskum School District properties.
We are in full cooperation with the Kewaskum and West Bend Police Departments as they continue this investigation. At this time, law enforcement has no evidence to suggest that the Officer had any inappropriate communication or behaviors with other Kewaskum students.
Our staff will be vigilant in observing and listening to students should they need an adult to speak with about this issue. In the event a student seeks to speak to someone here at school, faculty and staff will direct them to our school counselors and administration.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the West Bend Police Department at 262-335-5000.
Student safety is a top priority, and we will continue to work together to ensure that the Kewaskum School District will be an exceptional place to learn for our students.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mark Bazata
District Administrator
Kewaskum School District
