MIDDLETOWN undefined A school janitor was fired on Dec. 7 for "inappropriate conduct" after an internal investigation into reports on his behavior by several students, district officials said.

The district is not aware of the janitor engaging in any criminal activity or child endangerment, said Board of Education attorney Christopher Parton, who declined to identify the employee or elaborate on the "inappropriate conduct."

During a board meeting on Wednesday, several parents criticized the school district's handling of the situation, alleging that the district did not report information to authorities in a timely manner and that it allowed the janitor to remain in contact with students as the internal investigation developed.

"Children are going to be at risk," said resident Dina Milne, if the district handles future cases in a similar fashion.
