DISTRICT 200 STATEMENT REGARDING THE ARREST OF MR. JAMES GUTTRIDGE

District 200 is very concerned to learn that one of our teachers has been arrested and charged with criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

The District learned of these allegations in October 2011, and reported them immediately to the Woodstock Police Department and the Department of Children and Family Services.

Mr. Guttridge has been on administrative leave since that time.

District 200 has refrained from taking any additional action against him in deference to the pending criminal investigation.

Woodstock North High School

The District has been conducting an internal investigation and has also cooperated with the Woodstock Police Department and provided them with whatever information they have required.

Any further questions should be directed to the Woodstock Police Department or to the McHenry County State’s Attorney.

As this is a personnel matter, the District cannot comment any further at this time.
