Pinewood Continues to Deny ReVille-Linked Allegations

l Board of Trustees Chairman Dr. James Mann released Thursday a statement that continues to deny the school's administration having any prior knowledge of misconduct between a former teacher and pupils. 

The statement comes on the heels of when information was brought forth by victims of teacher and coach Louis "Skip" ReVille, who no longer works for the school. 

Prior to the lawsuits' filings, Patch wrote about . In that story and in subsequent stories, Pinewood administrators have continued to deny the allegation.

Thursday's statement from Mann:

Pinewood continues to fully cooperate with investigators and has provided information as requested by law enforcement. SLED recently interviewed a number of educators at the school and indicated that the information provided appeared to be consistent with facts already collected by investigators. The allegations of this second lawsuit are unfounded and without merit.

Pinewood’s commitment to educating our students to the highest standards will continue and we will not be distracted during this time. Pinewood has a legacy of preparing students so they are competitive not only in their pursuit of higher education but their lifetime goals.
