SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio — An instructional staff member at St. Xavier High School has been terminated after a "possible boundary violation" with a student, according to a note sent to St. Xavier parents on Friday.
The notice came from St. Xavier Principal Dan Lynch and said the staff member's contract has been terminated. According to Lynch, Springfield Township Police Department has been notified and is investigating.
Lynch said in the note to parents that members of the school's leadership were made aware of the issue in the past week. According to a press release from Springfield Township police, St. Xavier officials contacted the department on Wednesday.
Police said the school provided them with information about "possible inappropriate contact and communication" between a school staff member and a student.

"The care of the student and his family remain the school's top priority during this most difficult time," reads the notice from Lynch.
Lynch wrote that the staff member has been informed to not contact any of the school's faculty, staff or students.
He did not provide any information about what the teacher allegedly did to violate a boundary with a student, or when the alleged "boundary violation" occurred. Lynch only made mention of one student being impacted and did not indicate the school is looking into any other violations.
