GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Forest Hills Public Schools sent a letter to families in the district Wednesday addressing the arrest of a district employee.

In the letter, FHPS Interim Superintendent Dr. Sara Magaña Shubel says district leaders learned Wednesday about the arrest of someone who is employed as a cleaner for the district.

The employee has since been placed on administrative leave pending investigation, Dr. Magaña Shubel added.

The letter also states that no Forest Hills students were affected; however, the district is working with law enforcement and contracted with an external security company to conduct additional building searches for any non-district-issued technology devices, as a precautionary measure.

FHPS did not release any further information regarding the arrested employee or the crimes they are accused of.
