Level I investigator’s conclusions:
_____The complaint is being dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
_____Physical abuse was alleged, but no allegation of injury was made.
_____Physical abuse was alleged, but no evidence of physical injury exists and the nature of the alleged incident makes it unlikely an injury, s defined in the rules,
occurred.
_____Sexual abuse was alleged, but the alleged actions of the school employee, even if true, would not meet the definition of sexual abuse in the rules.
_____Alleged victim was not a student at the time of the incident.
_____Alleged school employee is not currently employed by this school district.
_____Alleged incident did not occur on school grounds, on school time, at a school- sponsored activity, not in a school-related context.
_____The complaint has been investigated and concluded at Level I as unfounded.
_____Complaint was withdrawn.
_____Insufficient evidence exists that an incident of abuse, as defined in the rules, took place.
_____The complaint has been investigated at Level I and is founded.
_____The investigation is founded at Level I and is being turned over to Level II for further investigation.
_____Investigation of the complaint was deferred at Level I and referred to law enforcement at this time.
_____The investigation is concluded at Level I because the accused school employee has admitted the violation, has resigned, or has agreed to relinquish any
teaching license held.
Current status of investigation:
_____Closed. No further investigation is warranted.
_____Closed and referred to school officials for further investigation as a personnel matter.
_____Deferred to law enforcement officials.
