Statement on Employee TikTok Video
March 14, 2022
Last Thursday, the district became aware of a highly offensive video made by two employees. As we stated last week, the employees were placed on administrative leave and the district immediately launched an investigation using a third-party investigator. The district is taking this situation very seriously and we will follow our policies and procedures as we complete our investigation into this matter. We cannot, however, share the outcome of a personnel matter publicly.
Language, gestures, and tone such as what was on display in the video are unprofessional and highly offensive. Regardless of personal views, our expectation is for our employees to maintain respectful and professional communication at all times while representing the district and our community. The use of school property, even if outside of school hours, should not be used for personal expression of the type seen in the video.
We continue to work towards creating a safe and welcoming environment in our schools that is free from bullying, and reduces mental, emotional, and physical harm. Actions like these work against that goal, and we acknowledge the harm caused by this kind of behavior.
We ask our students and staff in the Newberg School District to do their part to create a safe, respectful and welcoming school environment for everyone.

El jueves pasado, el distrito se enteró de un video altamente ofensivo realizado por dos de nuestros empleados. Como dijimos la semana pasada, los empleados fueron puestos en licencia administrativa y el distrito inició de inmediato una investigación a través de un investigador externo. El distrito se está tomando esta situación muy en serio y seguiremos nuestras políticas y procedimientos mientras completamos nuestra investigación sobre este asunto. Sin embargo, no podemos compartir públicamente el resultado de un asunto de personal.
El lenguaje, los gestos y el tono, como los que se muestran en el video, son poco profesionales y muy ofensivos. Independientemente de los puntos de vista personales, nuestra expectativa es que nuestros empleados mantengan una comunicación respetuosa y profesional en todo momento mientras representan al distrito y nuestra comunidad. El uso de la propiedad escolar, incluso fuera del horario escolar, no debe utilizarse para expresar opiniones personales del tipo que se observa en dicho video.
Continuamos trabajando para crear un ambiente seguro y hospitalario en nuestras escuelas que esté libre de intimidación y reduzca el daño mental, emocional y físico. Acciones como estas van en contra de ese objetivo, y reconocemos el daño causado por este tipo de comportamiento.
Pedimos a nuestros estudiantes y personal del Distrito Escolar de Newberg que hagan su parte para crear un entorno escolar seguro, respetuoso y hospitalario para todos
