Si bien los cargos son graves y la investigación sigue en curso, entendemos que el Sr. Groebe no ha sido declarado culpable en este momento.
Quiero asegurarles que durante el empleo del Sr. Groebe en el Distrito 126, no hubo informes de mala conducta ni ningún indicio de daño a nuestros estudiantes.
