Both Mini University and West Carrolton Schools said Snell underwent a vetting process including a background check before being hired.

In a release, West Carrollton Schools confirmed that Snell was an educator at three different districts in the Miami Valley.

The school district said that during Snell’s hiring process, they received a letter of recommendation from an individual at Northwestern Local Schools; an individual from Northwestern Elementary School; an individual at Winton Woods City Schools; and an individual from Centerville City Schools.

The district also said he was never employed as an educator in West Carrollton, only as a soccer coach.

News Center 7 has reached out to Northwestern Local Schools, Centerville Schools, and Winton Woods Schools. Both Northwestern and Winton Woods confirmed his previous employment in their districts.

A spokesperson for Centerville City Schools said the district does not have a record of anyone named David A. Snell as a previous employee in the district.
