Charges Dropped Against Stratford Schools Superintendent: Report

STRATFORD, CT — Stratford Superintendent of Schools Uyi Osunde remains on paid administrative leave despite a criminal charge stemming from an arrest last November being dropped, according to the Connecticut Post.

Osunde was charged on Nov. 25 with second-degree breach of peace in New Haven in connection with a domestic incident. He was placed on leave following a 4-3 vote by the Stratford Board of Education in December.

Osunde’s attorney told the Post that the state “questioned the actions” of the victim, and agreed that the misdemeanor breach of peace charge shouldn’t have been brought.

News12LongIsland reported that victim admitted she wasn’t afraid of Osunde and didn’t want him arrested.

Osunde will remain on leave pending the results of the Stratford Board of Education’s investigation, according to the Post.
