Board to get update on mom’s job status

BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) — A southwest Ohio school board is meeting with its lawyer to get an update on the job status of an assistant principal whose toddler died in the back seat of her SUV last month.

Forty-year-old Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby has been on paid leave since her 2-year-old daughter died while strapped in her car seat for more than seven hours on a day when the temperature reached nearly 100 degrees.

Prosecutors determined that the death was an accident and did not file charges.

Nesselroad-Slaby is an assistant principal at Glen Este Middle School. West Clermont school officials have not decided whether she will be allowed to return.
