WPTV is seeking additional information following a letter sent by the Palm Beach County School District to parents of Palm Beach Central High School on Wednesday morning. The letter informed parents that a teacher had been removed from the campus, prompting further inquiries into the situation. The district has yet to provide further details regarding the circumstances surrounding the teacher’s removal.

Officials have not revealed the specific reasons behind the teacher’s removal, stating only that it is related to an ongoing district investigation. They also referenced allegations of misconduct but made it clear that the investigation is still open, which limits the amount of information that can be disclosed at this time.

Parents have been encouraged to contact the school administration if they possess any information that could be pertinent to the ongoing investigation. In addition, officials have assured the community that a qualified professional has been assigned to ensure that students continue to stay on track with their curriculum during this time.
