SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. -- Some Sun Prairie school staff members have been placed on administrative leave, the school board confirmed Thursday, amid an investigation that was launched after a former dean was charged with child sex crimes.
The Sun Prairie Board of Education did not name which staff members were placed on leave, but said the decision was made based on information currently available to the board. Further action could be taken as criminal and employment investigations unfold.
Earlier this month, the Board asked a Milwaukee-area attorney to lead an independent investigation into the handling of allegations against former Sun Prairie West dean Robert Gilkey-Meisegeier, who was charged in July with child sex crimes, and whether any district employees failed in their duties.
