LYLE — The Mower County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a situation involving a Lyle school employee.

It was not clear this morning what the situation in Lyle is, though Lyle Superintendent Jim Dusso said the school did not go into lockdown and at no point were students in danger.

The district is expected to issue a public statement today.

The Lyle school board and specifically Dusso are under fire as many residents have taken issue with Dusso’s leadership since he was appointed superintendent in May. Other residents are frustrated with the public’s reaction to the school district and support Lyle’s board and administration.
