In January, Chardon School District Superintendent Michael P. Hanlon Jr. received a complaint on an educator misconduct reporting form. An internal investigation started shortly after, WOIO-19 reported.

Murray “violated Board of Education policy, District procedure and likely the Educator Licensure Code,” the report said.

The report said the students benefitted from the grade changes, WOIO-19 reported.

At this time, no criminal charges have been filed.
