Ewing Teacher On Administrative Leave; Authorities Contacted

A Ewing teacher has been placed on administrative leave, according to school officials.

School board minutes show K-12 music teacher Jessica Nielsen’s resignation was approved at the April meeting, effective at the end of the school year. However, when asked if Nielsen is currently employed by the district, Ewing principal Greg Appleby said she is not. 

This was Nielsen's fourth year at Ewing, according to Appleby.

Appleby said he could not comment on the personnel matter but that authorities had been contacted. He said the teacher was placed on administrative leave last Thursday.

Appleby also said last Friday's district music contest was overseen by another teacher while Tuesday’s music concert was ran by the school’s administration and accompanist.
