Level I investigator's conclusions:

   ____    The complaint is being dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
 
   ____    Physical abuse was alleged, but no allegation of injury was made.
 

   ____   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.

 
  ____   Sexual abuse was alleged, but the alleged actions of the school employee, even if true,

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

 
 _____  Alleged victim was not a student at the time of the incident.
 

 _____   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 ____   Complaint was withdrawn.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:

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.
