Northern Lights Public Schools (NLPS) has been informed by RCMP that one of its staff members has been charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.
NLPS can confirm that Eric Sprecker has been employed with the division as an educational assistant and Out of School Care worker at Vera M. Welsh Elementary School for two years. This individual is no longer at an NLPS school. Out of respect for the legal process and the privacy of those involved, we will not be commenting further at this time.
We will be working closely with the school to ensure supports are available for students and staff who need them. The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff are always our top priorities and we are focused on providing them with the support they need at this time.
