Re: Notice of Suspension ofEmployment without Pay Pending Investigation

Dear Mr. Roberts:

This is to inform you that you are suspended without pay effective immediately for allegations of
improper conduct. The Washington County Sheriffs Department is conducting an ongoing
investigation into allegations of your sexual misconduct with a minor. The minor who has made these
allegations against you is not a student of the high school where you teach and there are no allegations
that any misconduct occurred at or on school property. However, because of the serious nature of the
allegations and because the alleged victim is a minor, you are suspended while the investigation is being
conducted.

During your suspension, you are not to enter upon Washington County School System property without
my prior written permission. During your suspension, you are not to speak with any current or former
Washington County School System employees without my written permission. During your suspension,
due to privacy concerns and the ongoing investigation, you are directed not to speak with any of your
current or former students or their parents about the students, their education, the ongoing investigation
or your suspension without pay. Once the investigation is complete, I will notify you regarding your
future with the Washington County School System.

If you need to visit the school and gather any personal belongings, contact me and I will arrange a time
for you to do so.

Sjpc^rely,

ber Halliburton
