According to minutes from the school board’s June meeting, members met in executive session for an hour and a half to discuss personnel matters. They then re-convened and agreed to place Dunham on paid administrative leave “until further notice.”
The leave includes conditions that Dunham not contact any school staff or be on school grounds or school property.
The reason for placing Dunham on leave is unknown.
School treasurer Nick Hamilton said, “At this point we can’t comment. That’s all I can say now.” Media in Darke County tried to reach another school board member, but no calls were returned.
The Darke County Sheriff’s Office said that it is not aware of any criminal complaints against Dunham at this time.
