Oletha Cuevas, 48, was arrested on April 11, 2024 in Huntersville, NC. Oletha is a PreK-8 assistant principal at Walter G. Byers School in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools district. Of all things, Oletha is charged with child abuse.
But we do know that Oletha is accused of causing visible red marks on the neck of a minor. Court records say scratches were on the child’s arm.
Authorities say Oletha also verbally threatened to physically injure the student.
Huntersville police arrested Oletha charging her with misdemeanor child abuse and communicating threats.
Officials at Walter G. Byers School are aware of Oletha’s arrest, and they say as a result a shift in leadership will take place. The school ranges from Pre-K to 8th grade.
Oletha has been an assistant principal with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools for 15 years.
The school sent a letter to parents concerning Oletha’s arrest:
“Hello Walter G. Byers families, this is Principal Davis with a message about a news story you may have seen regarding our assistant principal and a law enforcement investigation.
“While many of you may be concerned about the circumstances involved, I cannot discuss personnel information. I can reassure you this matter is not related to any school business.
“This matter will result in a shift in school leadership roles, but please know that the teaching, learning and administration of the school will be supported by Byers staff and district leadership to ensure your student’s learning is not impacted.
“Thank you for your continued support of Walter G. Byers.”
