Clay County junior high employee resigns during investigations

Resignation and investigations

A junior high employee in Clay County has resigned while police and the Florida Department of Children and Families investigate, a spokeswoman said.

The resignation and the investigations are separate parts of the same development: the employee is no longer in the position, while law enforcement and DCF continue their work. The employee’s name, the junior high school involved and the subject of the investigations were not identified.

What is known

The statement identifies the employee as working at a junior high school in Clay County. It does not describe any criminal charge, arrest, court filing or conclusion by police or DCF.

A resignation also does not establish the outcome of either investigation. Any action by police or DCF would come through those agencies or through a later official statement.

Next steps

Police and DCF may provide additional information as their investigations proceed. The Clay County school system or its spokeswoman may also issue additional information about the employee’s resignation or the school involved.

This story will be updated if officials announce a charge, a case decision or other formal action.
