Dear CEVSD Families and Carrollton Community,
The vision of the Carrollton Exempted Village School District is to inspire every student with a passion for learning, personal integrity, civic responsibility and a commitment to excellence, and that is expected of our staff members as well. On Thursday, December 8, we were notified of criminal felony indictments against Superintendent Dr. David Quattrochi, Board Member Michael Pozderac and teacher Jackie Pozderac and are deeply concerned about the serious nature of the allegations.
It is disappointing to learn that three recognized leaders in our district may have used their positions for personal gain. Their alleged behavior is inconsistent with the strong values we have within our district. When we were notified of the indictments, we suspended Dr. Quattrochi and Ms. Pozderac from their duties and filed misconduct reports with the Ohio Department of Education. Since then, Dr. Quattrochi has submitted his resignation for approval from the Board. The Board will meet on Friday, December 9 at 3 p.m. to vote to accept his resignation. Our Board also has asked for the resignations of Board Member Pozderac and Ms. Pozderac.
As the legal process in this matter proceeds, we will be as transparent as legally possible when
communicating with our school community. Our highest priority right now is the financial integrity of the district and a focus on the successful continuation of this school year. We are working with our current treasurer, Amy Spears, to ensure that all the district finances are in order. In addition, Dave Davis was recently appointed as the Interim Superintendent and will continue in this role, and we are identifying arrangements for substitutes for Ms. Pozderac’s classes.
The Board of Education would like to thank the community for their support during this time. We are cooperating fully with the prosecutor’s office and local law enforcement. We take seriously our roles as leaders of this school district and will provide further details as appropriate.
Dan Ries, President
Carrollton Exempted Village School Board
