The Grundy County School Board's investigative oversight committee is expected to present some of its findings to the board during tonight's board meeting.
It's not clear what findings the committee might present, but it may have to do with the investigation into five students charged with attempted aggravated rape, as that is what the committee was assigned to oversee.
The students - a freshman, three juniors and a senior - are accused of attempting to rape a 15-year-old freshman teammate with the metal handle of a dust mop in the school's football fieldhouse some time before 6 a.m. CDT on Oct 11.
Grundy County school district attorney Chuck Cagle said last month that head coach Casey Tate was relieved of his coaching duties because of information they learned relating to the fieldhouse. It was not clear what that information was, other than that the doors were left unlocked, allowing students to enter.
Tate is still teaching special education at the high school, though he is prohibited from having any contact with members of the football team. The only exception is if a football player is in one of the classes he teaches.
