The Jefferson County School District is apologizing to the parents of a Columbine High School student after school officials helped the student lie on a federal form and then hid it from her parents so she could move in with a teacher.
According to investigators hired by the district, the student – a 17-year-old female – was involved in an inappropriate relationship with social studies teacher Leann Kearney. They say Kearney was “grooming” the girl.
Heather McCormick is friends with the girl’s mom and says there were red flags long before the district hired investigators, “There’s this icky feeling that something is wrong and as it progressed it only got worse. Not a single person stood up and said something doesn’t seem right and reached out to the parents.”
