Hometown News received this statement today from Superintendent Dr. Chris Wilson on the arrest this week of a KHS nurse.
“The District was recently notified that a non-certificated employee has been arrested and charged for alleged unlawful involvement with a high school student. At this time, there has been no finding that the employee is guilty of the charges. However, the employee has been placed on a leave of absence and will have no contact with District students. As with all individuals hired by the District, the employee had a clear criminal background and child abuse check and completed all relevant training. The District places the safety and education of its students as the highest priority.”
26 year old Candice Johnson was arrested for an alleged sexual relationship with a 15 year old student. She is charged with two counts of second degree statutory rape and two counts of sexual contact with a student. She is free on bond and is scheduled to appear in court next week.
