The Butler County Area Vocational-Technical School will hire an attorney to look into a troubling incident in early April.
According to a statement released by school administrators, the Vo-Tech’s Joint Operating Committee has directed Attorney Laura Gutnick to conduct an independent investigation into allegations of alleged hazing, harassment, and other forms of prohibited conduct.
This incident occurred on April 8th in the changing room of the school’s Automotive Technology Program and resulted in an immediate school investigation as well as unspecified discipline referrals and a report to the Butler Township Police.
If the attorney’s investigation uncovers additional evidence of misconduct, administrators say they will take “immediate and decisive corrective action”.
