A dean of students at Ribault High School was arrested on a charge of child abuse after a confrontation with a student, according to a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office report.

Duval County Public Schools said that Kevin Lorenzo Greene Jr. has been removed from student contact and that both internal and external investigations were underway.

According to the police report, Greene was addressing a student Wednesday afternoon who was skipping class.
