School officials apologize
GREENFIELD (AP) — School officials have issued an apology to victims of a 2011 hazing incident at Nodaway Valley High School.
The apology came as part of a settlement Tuesday from the incident in the high school’s wrestling room.
Two students — Mikel Feick and Jacob Schliessman — were originally charged with second-degree sexual abuse, but the charges were reduced to first-degree harassment. According to online court documents, the students pleaded guilty to the harassment charges.
KCCI-TV reports the apology by the school district was issued by superintendent Casey Berlau. He said in the statement the district wants to apologize to the victims and their families for the assault that occurred while they were in the wrestling program.
Berlau said the district is making efforts to ensure another incident will not occur.
