NEW MILFORD, CT — Police say they are investigating whether a local school employee engaged in “inappropriate” communications with a student.
Police said they launched their probe after receiving information May 22 about communications during the 2023–2024 school year.
According to police, the investigation is in its early stages.
Police are not releasing the employee’s name or title, or details about the communications due to the ongoing nature of their probe, police said.
