Campbell Memorial High School principal returns to work

CAMPBELL — Campbell Memorial High School Principal Jacquelyn Hampton returned to her position today after an investigation into alleged misconduct.

Hampton was placed on paid administrative leave on Feb. 12 for allegations of possible misconduct involving a minor student(s), and alleged failure to comply with mandatory reporting requirement as defined by state law.

“After a thorough investigation by myself and district officials, we have found that any alleged misconduct is invalid. We have discovered that the incident in question was previously reported to local authorities. Therefore, I cannot conclude that in 2012 Miss Hampton failed to comply with a mandatory reporting obligation of a matter already known by the Campbell Police Department,” Superintendent Matthew Bowen said in a statement.
