“We have been in touch with law enforcement authorities and are obviously very concerned about the arrest of our teacher, Amit Netanel. At this time, we do not have additional information regarding the status of any legal proceedings involving this matter. However, we have deemed it appropriate to not permit Mr. Netanel on our campus during the legal proceedings. It is important to note that, according to all the information we currently have, this does not involve anyone else associated with Rockwern Academy, including any student, nor is there any information that this involved any activity at our school. As with all prospective employees, Mr. Netanel completed a thorough background check before being hired and every five years thereafter. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our students, staff, and visitors. Given that this is an active criminal investigation, we have no further comment at this time.”
An investigation into Netanel remains ongoing by the sheriff's office. Anyone with information related to this case should contact the Regional Electronics & Computer Investigations section at 513-946-8338.
