School administrators immediately contacted Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies regarding the allegation.
“Within hours, a thorough police investigation took place, and as a result, the individual is no longer employed by Centerville City Schools,” the spokesperson said.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office told News Center 7 that Miller was charged with endangering children and illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance.
He was arrested on May 22.
The school spokesperson said the family of the student involved was notified last week.
Miller’s last day was on May 20 and he isn’t permitted on school grounds.
The school spokesperson said all district employees must complete State BCI and Federal FBI background checks before receiving employment with the Board of Education.
They also must obtain licensure through the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.
“Centerville City Schools takes all employee matters seriously and remains committed to maintaining a safe environment for students, staff, and families. At this time, this remains an active police matter being investigated by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, with whom we have a longstanding partnership. We are grateful for their continued work and cooperation throughout this investigation,” the spokesperson said.
The sheriff’s office or the district did not detail the exact allegations against Miller.
