Today, District 126 was informed of a criminal court proceeding in Lake County involving a former substitute teacher, Duncan Groebe.
According to a press release (see attached) this individual’s alleged criminal activity was discovered via a cyber tip that is unrelated to District 126.
While the charges are serious and the investigation remains ongoing, we understand that Mr. Groebe has not been proven guilty at this time.
I want to assure you that during Mr. Groebe’s employment with District 126, there were no reports of misconduct or any indication of harm to our students.
This situation serves as a reminder of our continued commitment to maintaining the safety and security of our schools. We encourage everyone to report any suspicious or concerning behavior. Reports can be made through Safe2Help Illinois by calling 844-4SAFEIL, texting SAFE2 (72332), emailing HELP@Safe2HelpIL.com, or submitting a report online at [https://www.safe2helpil.com](https://www.safe2helpil.com).
