Hello,
The North St. Paul - Maplewood – Oakdale School District is aware of the criminal charge of possession of child pornography against William Haslach, a recess and traffic monitor at Cowern Elementary, Richardson Elementary and North High School. This individual has been terminated from District 622.
Throughout his employment with the School District, from September, 2021 to January, 2025, the district did not receive any complaints or allegations regarding Mr. Haslach’s conduct toward students.
The district takes the safety and security of our students extremely seriously. We have been cooperating fully with law enforcement in their investigation and will continue to do so as the process unfolds. We understand the gravity of these charges and remain committed to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for our students.
If you have any information that may assist law enforcement in their investigation, please contact the Minnesota BCA Victim Relations Coordinator for the Predatory Crimes Section at 651-793-2465 or vfc.coordinator@state.mn.us. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Christine Tucci Osorio
Superintendent
