High school teacher in Talawanda placed on leave after social media video

OXFORD, Ohio – A teacher at Talawanda High School is on paid administrative leave after the district received “reports and concerns” about videos/social media posts allegedly made by the teacher in question.

The district said in a news release Friday morning that it was investigating whether the videos were filmed on school property using district-owned equipment. The district did not release the teacher's name.

“The superintendent’s office, human resources and THS administration take parent and community concerns regarding this matter very seriously,” the district said in a news release.

While the district did not provide further details about the content of the video, WCPO 9 has received several news tips about political posts by a teacher at Talawanda High School following this week's presidential election.

The district said it would not provide any further information during the investigation.
