BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Three vice principals facing criminal charges in connection with sexual assault allegations have been reassigned by the Bellingham School District.

Squalicum High School said in a message to families that Jeremy Louzao and Meghan Dunham have both been reassigned to the district’s Department of Teaching and Learning.

Bellingham High School told families that Chimere Hackney has also been moved to that department and all three will work out of the distict office.

The Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney charged all three after an investigation found they knew of and failed to properly report a Squalicum student’s accusation that a male student had sexually assaulted her.

School employees are among those required by state law to report allegations of child neglect or abuse to police or child protective services.

The female student has also filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the district.
