Campbell principal returns to work after being cleared of allegations

CAMPBELL

A Campbell City School District administrator returned to work today, after an investigation into alleged misconduct.

Jacquelyn Hampton, Campbell Memorial High School principal, was placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 12 over allegations of possible misconduct involving a minor student(s), and alleged failure to comply with the 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.
