Former Oklahoma high school principal under investigation for alleged inappropriate relationship with student
MADILL, Okla. (KXII) - A citizen’s complaint to the Oklahoma Department of Education led to the filing of a notice of investigation last week into former Madill High School principal Jason Ward, who is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student while teaching at Dickson Public Schools from 2014 to 2017.
The victim’s statement from the notice alleges Ward had a “prolonged sexual dating relationship” with a Dickson student, as well as “Inappropriate and potential criminal digital communications” with the student.
The notice states that Ward’s alleged actions are a potential violation of conduct for teachers and several state laws, and could be charged criminally.
The case has since been turned over to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. As of Friday, no criminal charges had been filed.
Madill Superintendent Victor Salcedo confirmed on Wednesday that Ward was no longer with the district and that middle school assistant principal Ron Norman will serve as the interim principal for the high school.
