Campbell principal placed on leave; teacher charged with sexual battery
CAMPBELL
Two separate cases of possible misconduct with students are being investigated in the Campbell City School District.
Principal Jacquelyn Hampton of Campbell Memorial High School has been “placed on paid administrative leave” as of Thursday, according to a letter from Superintendent Matthew Bowen.
“The District has received allegations of possible misconduct involving a minor student(s), and alleged failure to comply with mandatory reporting
requirement as defined by state law ... and board policy,” he said in the letter. “During this temporary assignment, you are not permitted to communicate with, or take other actions that would involve parents or students in matters related to your employment with the District.”
In the letter, Hampton is prohibited from entering the grounds of any building owned or controlled by the school district. She also is required to communicate all business-related needs to Bowen and remain at home from 7:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. while completing work assignments.
In a separate matter, a teacher at the high school was investigated after an allegation of a relationship with a student, according to 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator’s broadcast partner.
Shannon Pavlansky-Wojtowicz, 30, of Campbell, was placed on unpaid leave Jan. 26 pending the investigation. She resigned two days later.
Police confirmed that Pavlansky-Wojtowicz turned herself in Friday afternoon and is charged with sexual battery.
