INDIANAPOLIS, IN – The Warren Township Board of Education voted late Thursday to terminate the contract of its former dance team coach following a comprehensive internal review into an incident that injured several student-athletes.

The decision follows an investigation into an event that occurred on September 18th, which critically injured multiple students. The most severe case involved a 14-year-old girl who was hospitalized for second-degree burns after, according to her parents, her coach pushed her dance training too far.

The Board’s decision to cancel the educator’s contract came after a full internal review and cooperation with local authorities.
