The Newfoundland and Labrador English School District confirmed Monday that they were informed about an incident that happened the week before last involving “a staff member” at Admiral’s Academy, the new school located on the Conception Bay Highway in Kelligrews, formerly C.B.S. Elementary
In an email to The Telegram, the district said there were complaints made towards the staff member, alleging “inappropriate verbal and physical interactions with students of a non-sexual nature.”
