A Wisconsin associate principal has been busted for alleged sexual misconduct with a student, according to her school.
Kaitlyn Hintz, the 32-year-old associate principal at Bonduel Middle/High School, was arrested Monday, a little over a week after a tip was sent to the state’s Speak Up, Speak Out reporting system, the district told parents in a letter to parents shared by WBAY.
The tip alleged “inappropriate contact between the associate principal and a student,” the school said, calling it a “serious situation.”
Hintz was booked into the Shawano County Jail for multiple charges, the sheriff’s office said, without elaborating, citing the ongoing investigation.
However, the school district stressed in the letter to parents that “none of the communications in question took place through district platforms, and none of the alleged interactions occurred on district property.”
It’s unclear how long Hintz has been working at the school, where students range in age from 11 to 18.
“We recognize that this news is deeply concerning for students, families, staff, and community,” the school district said.
“The safety and wellbeing of our students remains our highest priority.”
Hintz is set to appear in court later this week.
