Dear Madrone Families,
As reported by the Santa Rosa Police Department this afternoon, a staff member at Madrone Elementary School was arrested last night under Penal Code 288.3 PC- Contact with a Minor to Commit a Criminal Offense and Penal Code 288(c)(1) PC- Lewd and Lascivious Acts with a Child. She was employed as a noontime supervisor for 1.75 hours/week. She is being put on administrative leave and as such, is not permitted on our campuses.
The Rincon Valley Union School District takes this situation very seriously. Our number one priority is the safety of our students. As stated by SRPD: “there is currently no information to believe that [this employee] had any inappropriate contact with any of the students that attend [Madrone].”
This situation has unfolded quickly and we are reaching out to reassure you that we will continue to do everything in our power to keep your children safe at school.
Sincerely,
Tracy Smith
Superintendent
Rincon Valley Union School District
