Staples could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Superintendent Karl Springer declined to say the results of the four-month investigation, citing laws governing personnel issues.
“This situation has been extremely difficult for the students, staff and Douglass community,” Springer said. “It has been difficult for us as well. ... It's time for us to continue the focus on the students of Douglass Mid-High and to really work to improve the issues associated with the school.”
Springer said the investigation will be given to the U.S. Department of Education, the state Education Department and the Oklahoma County district attorney.
Springer said district officials are also reporting their findings to the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association. The investigation didn't find anything that would affect student eligibility to participate in school activities, he said.
