Olentangy Local Schools will expand anti-hazing education and review how students can safely report misconduct after allegations involving players on Olentangy Orange High School’s varsity girls soccer team prompted calls from families for accountability. At a Board of Education meeting Thursday, Superintendent Todd Meyer apologized for the impact of the incident on students, families and staff. He said the district was disappointed it occurred and recognized the effect on the wider Olentangy community. The alleged incident was reported to the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office last month. The office said it would not pursue criminal charges because of insufficient evidence. The district, rather than parents or students, brought the matter to law enforcement, according to the sheriff’s office. Board President Brandon Lester described four areas for the district and community to address: anti-hazing training for middle and high school students in all extracurricular activities; multiple clear ways to report concerns, including anonymous reporting through the Stay Safe. Speak Up! Hotline; investigations paired with physical, mental and emotional health support; and a broader effort by administrators, school leaders, parents and students to shape school culture. Lester said the district’s handling of the case would continue and that officials would take appropriate action after the process concludes. The matter will also go to the district’s Well-Being and Mental Health Committee, which includes students, staff, parents and board members. Parent Charlotte Lizon urged leaders to show families what will change. She said students are watching how adults respond and called for the district to demonstrate that its stated values apply in practice. Some parents have raised concerns that the athletic director allegedly asked players to delete video evidence and that families were not notified for weeks. Those claims were reported as parents’ concerns; district leaders did not address them in the meeting remarks described Thursday. Meyer said the district plans to present information on addressing hazing at the next Board of Education meeting, scheduled for Oct. 22.
