It’s a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly one’s life can spiral out of control, especially under the weight of such serious allegations.

The East Baton Rouge Parish School System has confirmed that Dixon was placed on leave, extending condolences to the school community and offering support resources for students and faculty during this difficult time.
