*Were parent(s) or guardian(s) advised of their right to see and hear any interview of their pre-kindergarten through sixth grade children who are alleged victims of or a witness in a sexual abuse investigation?        Yes        No       

Was the right exercised?           Yes          No

Were video tapes made of any interviews?       Yes      No

Was any action taken to protect the student during or as a result of the investigation?            Yes           No

If yes, describe:

____ student excused from school                       school employee placed on administrative or other leave

___ student assigned to different class               other (please specify)

Level I investigator's conclusions:

   ____   Physical abuse was alleged, but no evidence of physical injury exists and the nature of the

              alleged incident makes it unlikely an injury, as defined in the rules, occurred.

              would not meet the definition of sexual abuse in the rules.

 _____   Alleged school employee is not currently employed by this school district.

 _____   Alleged incident did not occur on school grounds, on school time, at a school-sponsored activity, nor in a school-related context.

 ____    The complaint has been investigated and concluded at Level I as unfounded.

 ____   Complaint was withdrawn.

 ____   Insufficient evidence exists that an incident of abuse, as defined in the rules, took place.

 

 ____   The complaint has been investigated at Level I and is founded.

 ____  The investigation is founded at Level I and is being turned over to Level II for further investigation.

 ____    Investigation of the complaint was deferred at Level I and referred to law enforcement at this time.

 ____   The investigation is concluded at Level I because the accused school employee has admitted the violation, has resigned,

             or has agreed to relinquish any teaching license held.

    

Current status of investigation:

 ____   Closed.  No further investigation is warranted.

 ____   Closed and referred to school officials for further investigation as a personnel matter.

  ____   Deferred to law enforcement officials.

  ____  Turned over to Level II investigator.

Other comments:                                                                                                                                            

I have given a copy of the report of abuse and of this investigative report to the employee named in the report, the employee's supervisor, and the student's parent or guardian and informed the person filing the report of the options of contacting law enforcement, private counsel, or the State Board of Educational Examiners, if the accused school employee holds an Iowa teacher's certificate or license.
