LAGRANGE COUNTY, Ind. -- The LaGrange County Sheriff's Office reports Westview School Corporation Superintendent Randall Miller has been charged with Operating while Intoxicated with Alcohol Content over .15 and Operating while Intoxicated Causing Endangerment.

Miller was booked into jail over the weekend.

Keith Lambright, President of the Board of Trustees for Westview School Corporation released the following statement on Tuesday regarding Miller:

"Dear Westview Schools Community:

Our parents, staff, students, and patrons expect and deserve highly professional and principled leadership at our school. When these expectations are not met, the Westview School must promptly take corrective steps. Unfortunately, the school board now finds itself having to take such action.

On Sunday evening, August 31, Dr. Randy Miller, Westview Schools' superintendent, was arrested on three charges for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Upon learning of his arrest, the Westview school board immediately placed Dr. Miller on administrative leave. Effective today, previous superintendent, Dr. Randy Zimmerly will return and serve as interim superintendent of Westview School Corporation. We look forward to Dr. Zimmerly's steady and knowledgeable leadership.

The school board will hold a special executive session meeting this Thursday evening to discuss Dr. Miller's employment status. While Dr. Miller's arrest is a serious matter of the highest order, he is legally entitled to procedural safeguards which the school board must and will follow. Rest assured that the school board will act promptly in the best interests of our students, staff, and community and in a transparent fashion.

After Thursday's executive session, the school board will provide our community with its anticipated course of action. Until that time, we are unable to offer any additional information. Rest assured, however, that the school board will continue to hold all of our educators, including Dr. Miller, to the highest standards of professional conduct. No one with a lesser moral character can lead our students.

As always, thank you for your support of Westview School Corporation."
