The Freeport School District has come to learn of allegations that Mr. John O'Mard filed false fingerprints in support of his affidavit for employment in the Freeport School District. We are outraged and deeply disturbed to learn of all of the allegations associated with Mr. O'Mard.
We have contacted all appropriate authorities including the State Education Department to aggressively review the circumstances presented. The Freeport School District will continue to cooperate with all inquiries from the State Education Department and law enforcement authorities, including the Nassau County District Attorney's Office concerning this matter.
The Freeport School District has directed District counsel, Ingerman Smith, LLP, to conduct an investigation into the falsification of records and to report its findings to the Board of Education so that swift, appropriate administrative action may be taken by the Freeport School District concerning Mr. O'Mard.
