OSHKOSH, Neb. (AP) - A western Nebraska school superintendent has been charged with the misdemeanor assault of an 8-year-old child.
Court records say 61-year-old Paula Sissel is scheduled to be arraigned April 5 in Garden County Court in Oshkosh. She and her attorney didn’t return messages left Tuesday by The Associated Press.
It’s unclear whether the allegation concerns a student or some other child and what exactly happened to prompt the charge. The county prosecutor’s office referred questions about the case to a Nebraska State Patrol investigator, who did not immediately return a phone message Tuesday.
District officials say Sissel remains in her post as superintendent of the Garden County Schools district.
