administrators and a
teacher have been placed
on administrative leave
as the Staunton School
District completes an
investigation.
Details of the investigation weren’t released
in a brief statement to
the media. The school
board voted Feb. 27 to put
first-year School Superintendent Rich Stempinski,
elementary school principal Brooke Wiemers and
an unnamed teacher on
leave.
Leslie Gusewelle, a
bookkeeper and financial
coordinator for the district
office, said the district has
brought former School
S u p e r i n t e n d e n t Ky l e
Hlafka out of retirement
to serve in the interim.
District assistant principals have taken over for
Wiemers at the elementary
school, Gusewelle said.
“Our district is in good
hands as far as that’s concerned,” she said.
Stempinski, the former
director of business for the
Forest Ridge School District, was hired in March
2014.
The district directed
questions regarding the
investigation to its legal
counsel, Robbins Schwartz
Nicholas Lifton and Taylor
Ltd. of Collinsville. Attorneys with the firm did not
return calls from The State
Journal-Register.
Staunton Police Chief
Jeff Doerr said his department is not involved with
the investigation.
He also said police hadn’t
received any phone calls
from the public regarding
the issue.
“We have nothing to do
with it, and we don’t know
anything about it,” Doerr
said.
Macoupin County
assistant state’s attorney
Jordan Garrison said the
investigation has not been
referred to prosecutors.
