BLASDELL, N.Y. (WKBW) — Blasdell police are investigating allegations against a teacher aide at Blasdell Elementary School.
This came to our attention after parents reached out to us with concerns that an aide had inappropriate contact with a student.
7 News contacted the Frontier School District regarding the allegations, and a spokesperson released the following statement on behalf of the district:
"As soon as they became aware of the allegations, the teacher's aide was separated from the students. Parents of the alleged victims were notified. The Blasdell Police are investigating the incident and the district is awaiting the results of that investigation."
Dennis Feldmann with the Blasdell Police Department said the incident was reported in late April.
"It's very unsettling news but to find out about this through Facebook posts on different private groups," a parent told 7 News.
Feldmann told 7 News that the police department is working with the Erie County District Attorney's Office to investigate the allegation.
"A lot of the parents just want answers and to know that their child is going to be safe [and] protected," the parent added.
The Frontier School District spokesperson said the teacher aide is no longer employed with the district.
