WEST HARTFORD–A local private school has announced that it is investigating new claims that staff were involved in some type of sexual conduct in the 1970s and 1980s.
Kingswood Oxford, which is located off of Trout Brook Drive in West Hartford, just blocks from Blue Back Square, is a private day school.
In a letter to students, Dennis Bisgaard, the head of school, mentioned that KO is the latest in a series of Northeast private schools to receive allegations of sexual misconduct. The allegations came to light just last week, but the nature of those complaints has not been released.
The school announced that it has hired the law firm Robinson and Cole to lead an independent investigation into the claims, and has given the firm’s information to students so that they can feel comfortable coming forward with any allegations.
The school said it hired the firm “to investigate those concerns as well as any others that may come to light through this investigations.”
If you have a complaint to file, call Bisgaard at 860-233-9631 or Robinson and Cole at 860-275-8297.
