SHERBURNE – At the Sherburne-Earlville Board of Education meeting on Monday night, new board members were appointed, the middle school’s literacy audit was discussed, but no mention was made of the district’s biggest news last week.

Sherburne-Earlville custodian Shawn M. Clark was arrested last week on charges of third-degree rape, criminal sexual acts in the third degree and endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly becoming sexually involved with one of the students, but nothing was said about the incident during the public portion of the meeting Monday. Superintendent Gayle Hellert later commented that a letter had been sent home to all of the parents, and that those parents with questions had contacted the school directly.
