Earle, who has taught social studies at MHS for more than 10 years, has not been teaching in recent months, said Molalla River School District Superintendent Wayne Kostur.
“About the middle of December, we learned that there might have been some inappropriate behavior,” Kostur said. “We placed her on administrative leave so authorities could do an investigation.”
Kostur said another school district employee shared information that led district officials to contact police.
After investigators filed a warrant for her arrest, Earle turned herself in on March 21. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April 17. She is not currently being held in custody.
Kostur said that since the case involves district personnel, it limits the information he can publicly disclose at this time.
“I think we’re doing everything we can to make sure students are safe and taken care of very well,” Kostur said. “I think folks just need to remember that in these kinds of incidents, the folks are still employees and there are personnel issues. Information could be sketchy, but we’ll do the best we can.”
