TULSA, Okla. –
Bixby Superintendent Rob Miller released a statement Sunday saying principal Mickey Replogle was accused by several students and adults of improper behavior during the fall dance at the Renaissance Hotel in Tulsa.
BPS said Replogle is accused of smelling like alcohol and inappropriately touching students on the dance floor.
“Based on initial reports, I immediately suspended Mr. Replogle from all duties pending a thorough inquiry. The district takes these allegations very seriously and is prepared to respond further once information is confirmed. We greatly appreciate those students and staff who came forward with these reports. We anticipate that our investigation will be completed within 48 hours. The district is also cooperating fully with law enforcement during their investigation,” Superintendent Miller said.
He asked students with information on the allegations to contact Tulsa Police or the school counselors.
“The well-being of our students is critically important, and parents and students must have complete confidence in the employees entrusted with their care. If these allegations are confirmed, such behavior would be utterly unacceptable for any individual within Bixby Schools, especially someone in a trusted leadership position. I want to reassure you that we will continue to swiftly take all necessary actions to protect and support our students and maintain the integrity of our school community. The district is committed to maintaining open and honest communication. We will keep you informed as we are able to share additional information without compromising the investigation. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office at 918-366-2200. We deeply appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate this difficult situation together.”
Booking information at the Tulsa jail shows Replogle was arrested by Tulsa Police around 11:30 p.m. and he has a court date set for Oct. 1st.
