What presumption is made about a District employee who is temporarily relocated?

• A. They are presumed innocent pending the outcome of the investigation.
• B. They are presumed guilty.
• C. They are presumed to be under criminal investigation.
• D. They are presumed to have violated policy.

Answer: (C)

When a District employee is temporarily relocated, it signals protective action tied to an active inquiry into possible criminal activity. The move is taken to safeguard students and maintain the integrity of the investigation, so the presumption reflected in that action is that the employee is under criminal investigation. This does not declare them guilty or that they have violated policy; it simply acknowledges that an investigation is underway and special precautions are warranted.
