Morgan County Schools Administration is aware of the recent arrest of Widmyer Elementary classroom teacher Jazmyn Rohrer. Specifically, on December 16, 2024, Rohrer was charged with three counts of child abuse by a person in a position of trust. While there is of course the presumption of innocence in our country, administration felt it to be in our school community’s best interest to inform our parents/guardians of the arrest. The arrest came as a result of the school system making a mandatory report of potential abuse to the appropriate state agencies following the review of a classroom incident captured on video.
Rohrer, as required by state law, was immediately removed from the classroom effective on December 10, 2024. Appropriate personnel action will be taken with regard to Rohrer, but please understand personnel laws at this time prevent administration from being specific as to what the next step is, as employees are entitled to due process. However, Rohrer is not in the classroom, and the West Virginia Department of Education has also been notified. The West Virginia Department of Education will also take appropriate steps, such as immediately suspending Rohrer’s teaching license.
Administration is hopeful that this notice will prevent the spread of any rumors and/or misinformation.
The school system will make no further comments given the pending criminal action.
