Cherry Creek Schools has been investigating the incident since.
“The information obtained through this investigation has led us to decide that we need to make an administrative change at Black Forest Hills,” a Friday statement from the district reads. “We are making that change now so that we can move forward with the final weeks of the school year in a positive and productive way.”
Principal Amanda Replogle will be replaced with an acting principal through the end of the school year until a permanent replacement is announced, according to the district.
