Superintendent Releases Letter About Walters Citation

Mehlville Superintendent Eric Knost released the following letter to the community after an . 

March 20, 2012

The Mehlville School District was notified yesterday, March 19, 2012, of allegations of lewd and indecent conduct in Forest Park on March 16, 2012, involving the principal at Point Elementary School. These allegations do not relate to any actions by the principal on school property or with district students. Our current understanding is that the principal was not charged with a crime and disputes some, if not all, of the allegations. Nevertheless, the District is, and will be, thoroughly investigating these allegations. The District currently is on Spring Break, and the principal will not return to Point Elementary unless and until the District determines that to do so is appropriate and safe for all students.

As always, student safety is our top priority in the Mehlville School District. We will continue to follow all necessary and desirable procedures in order to ensure the safety and security of all district students.

Sincerely,

Dr. Eric D. Knost
Superintendent
